Consumer Description

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPS WORKING AT RANDOM, NO FUEL, SPEED OR RPM INFORMATION. ALL THE WARNINGS LIGHTS COME ON AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE EVEN WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT USED. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE FROM INTERMITTENT TO ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENING. MOST RECENTLY THE CAR HAS LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. HAD TO LIMP OFF TO THE SIDE TO TRY TO RESET VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY, I COULD ONLY DRIVE THE CAR NO FASTER TO 35 MPH BECAUSE THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THIS PROBLEM ALSO EFFECTS SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. WHEN IT IS OCCURRING YOU WILL NOTICE A HARD SHIFT INTO REVERSE THAT TEARS UP THE GEARS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY COUPLE MONTHS WITH NO NOTICE. *TR
