Consumer Description

LOST OPERATION OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND WHEN THIS OCCURS THE BACK-UP LIGHTS OPERATE. THE DANGER IS WHEN POWER IS LOST IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR SPEED, THIS IS CRUCIAL WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES. THE BACK-UP LIGHT CAUSE PEOPLE BEHIND MY CAR TO BELIEVE I AM BACKING-UP. ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LOOSES POWER. ALL THIS IS A DISTRACTION TO DRIVING. I HAVE ORDERED THE PART TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME IT WILL TAKE OVER A MONTH TO RECEIVE THE PART. *TR
