| Description of the problem | This vehicle has already shut off while driving on the expressway 4 times. The last time they said it was a bad fuel pump and replaced. I turned the car on in the parking lot after a grocery store trip (with my baby in the backseat) and the vehicle said it could not establish the remaining fuel level and the gauge was blank. Turned vehicle off and back on and fuel gauge reappeared, but while driving down city street, all indicator lights on the instrument panel lit up. I drove directly to dealership. They say that the cluster (odometer, speedometer, tachometer) needs to be replaced. Still waiting for part to come in and for vehicle to be returned to me. I am not confident this will fix my vehicle since they said they were 99% sure of the fix the last two times. This vehicle is faulty and is endangering my family. It is by sheer luck that we haven't gotten into an accident and injured so far. |
