| Description of the problem | All warning/service lights on the dash panel light up, sound alarms, and blink. The speedometer, fuel gauge, tachometer all go to "0" so i am unaware of my speed. Blinkers and emergency flashers do not work. This first happened right after we purchased the vehicle, and they repaired something to where it worked for about 3 months. Then it has been happening more frequently since then. The lights all turning on will happen about once a week now. I called the dealership and they said it's probably related to the recall currently in place for my vehicle, that they don't have a fix for. Of which, my car has been effected by the ignition switch recall as my car has turned off at random times going 35+ mph. This recall has been in effect since july 2014 and there is not yet a remedy. I have 3 young kids that i have with me all of the time and i am afraid to driving on the hwy since this often happens at those times. |
