Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED MOVING UP AND DOWN, OVER AND OVER. THIS INCLUDED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, GAS GAUGE, AND THE SPEEDOMETER. MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW FAST SHE WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS A DISTRACTION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO, AND IT COST ME ABOUT $500 TO REPLACE STEP MOTORS. *TR
