Description of the problem | The speedometer indicating needle went black along with the tachometer needle not allowing me at night to see my existing speed. There is no contrast whatsoever. Lexus of silver spring told me this was a $1400. 00 fix. I believe this to be a safety issue due to the fact that there are many more concerns on this subject from my on line investigation of many people with the same car. I believe this to be a true safety concern. I am willing to bring my car to you as proof of my concern. I need resolution and consideration from the dealer on this matter. Your response is seriously awaited. |
