Consumer Description

DASHBOARD LIGHTING FAILED TO LIGHT UP WHEN CAR IS STARTED. SPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT TIME, BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY FAILURE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS TO TURN ON. HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED. THERE IS NO OVERRIDE TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE TAIL LIGHTS NOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A SENSOR THAT TURNS THESE LIGHTS ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. AGAIN, SPECIALLY DANGERROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF NO TAIL LIGHTS, AND NO WAY FOR DRIVER TO TELL WHAT IS THE DIRVING SPEED. ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.*AK
