Consumer Description

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL KEEPS GOING DEAD, NO GAUGE READINGS AT ALL. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAS,TEMP, SPEEDOMETER,MILEAGE AND GEAR LIGHTS DON'T WORK, THEY JUST GO OUT. SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR SPEED IS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WE HAVE CHECKED ALL THE CONNECTIONS. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN CARAVANS AND OTHER MODELS THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AS WELL. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I WAS LEFT STRANDED WITH NO NOTICE AT ALL. I LOVE MY CARAVAN WHAT I DON'T LOVE IS ALL THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH IT. YEAH, IT MIGHT BE 10 YEARS OLD BUT I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THESE THINGS WERE KNOWN TO HAPPEN TO THE CARAVANS I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. *TR
