Consumer Description

INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES ARE DIFFICULT TO READ ON 2008 BUICK LUCERNE I HAVE A 2008 BUICK LUCERNE WITH AN INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING PROBLEM. MOST OF THE TIME THE GAUGES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. BUICK HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE EARLIEST CARS THAT I'VE FOUND TO EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM ARE 2003 BUICKS. THE LATEST IS 2013. BUICK DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND STONEWALLS WHEN ASKED TO ASKED CORRECT IT. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFELY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. BELOW ARE TWO OF THE MANY SITES WHERE OWNERS ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.
