Consumer Description

CAR HAS HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AND SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND GAS GAUGE ALL GOING DEAD. AFTER A MOMENT THE GAUGES COME BACK TO LIFE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CAR WAS JUST STARTED. THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING AND THE RADIO, WIPERS, ETC ALL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION. ISSUE IS CONFINED TO THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL. THIS CAN OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN GO FOR DAYS WITHOUT HAPPENING. I AM NOT ABLE TO 'FORCE' THE CONDITION AND GET IT TO OCCUR ON DEMAND SO THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL A NUMBER OF POSSIBLE ISSUES INCLUDING IGNITION SWITCH AND THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE - I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET IT FIXED SO THE CAR WILL BE SAFE. THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURS WITH MY CAR - HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XOVO0SIC9BK OR HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FCIM1AYPBHI. *TR
