Consumer Description

JUST AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM...WHILE DRIVING, AT SOME POINT, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON, SEAT BELT ETC. AS WELL AS ALL THE NEEDLES, SPEEDOMETER, GAS ETC WILL GO DOWN...THIS CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, AT WHICH POINT THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT. ABOUT APRIL 2012 THE IC PANEL WAS REPLACED. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO MAKE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN. WELL, IT DOESN'T END THERE...LAST FALL THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! THE DEALER HAD IT AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THIS TIME THEY NEVER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. SO, I FIGURED I COULD DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO HEAT, OR AIR CONDITIONING, NO RADIO, NO CRUISE CONTROL AND THE PROBLEM HASN'T OCCURRED, UNTIL JUST RECENTLY...THIS TIME IT GOES OFF CONTINUALLY, SOMETIMES. THIS IS SO SCARY! THE CAR CAN STALL ANYWHERE! I HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS SAME ISSUE ON SEVERAL BLOGS...STILL UNRESOLVED. *TR
