| Description of the problem | This vehicle has its gauges drop off intermittently. In some cases, all guages drop, in others just the tach and speedometer. Shelley warsaw cp je, clarksville, md has worked on the vehicle on 3 occasions. Initially they replaced the airbag sensor. This did not solve the problem. The vehicle spent 1. 5 days in this facility in june. They diagnosed it as a harnass connector problem. The situation appeared to be remediated, but has once again occurred. It is uncomfortable to drive a vehicel that indicates a problem with the airbag (check airbag signal) on a daily basis. |
