| Description of the problem | While driving, all of the gauges will suddenly turn-off (including gas gauge, speedometer, odometer, temperature, and tachometer.) when this happens, the turn signals also stop working, as well as the headlights and dashboard lights. This has happened multiple times, and one time while driving at night. The car has been in the shop five times for the above stated problems (currently still in the shop). Supposedly on the fourth visit, the dealership replaced the "cluster panel." however, this obviously did not resolve the problem as within two hours after picking up the problems happened again. *jb |
