Consumer Description

1993 LEXUS LS 400 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE - SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND GAS GAUGE DO NOT WORK IN COLD WEATHER UNTIL VEHICLE WARMS UP. OCCASIONALLY THE ELECTROLUMINESCENT INSTRUMENT LIGHTING FAILS TOO. EITHER SITUATION RESULTS IN A SAFETY CONCERN RELATED TO VEHICLE OPERATION. DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THIS MODEL YEAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AS OTHER COMPLAINANTS HAVE STATED, THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT AND COMMON FAILURE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IMPEDES THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I WOULD ASK THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND DETERMINE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED. *NM
