Consumer Description

LONG TERM PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT GREW MUCH WORSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 88K MILES ON IT. BACK IN 2010 THE TACHOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AT IDLE, IT WAS READING 5000-6000 RPM. KEPT WATCHING THE TACH OVER MONTHS AND IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE UNTIL THE NEEDLE FINALLY RESTED AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION. WASN'T A BIG DEAL. EARLY THIS YEAR (2013), OTHER GAUGES STARTED READING IMPROPERLY. ONE BY ONE THE OIL PRESSURE, SPEEDOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE ALL WENT HAYWIRE, SHOWING READINGS OUTSIDE OF THEIR RANGE. THE ONLY TWO FUNCTIONAL GAUGES LEFT WERE VOLTAGE AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE WHEN I HAD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED BACK IN MARCH THE CLUSTER IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE'S A THREAD AT EDMUNDS.COM WITH OVER 500 POSTS RELATED TO IT: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX?14@@.F17BA01/0 DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING ALL THE GAUGES CLOSELY, BUT I'D HATE TO SEE SOMEONE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. *TR
