Consumer Description

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GAUGES STOP WORKING-- PRESSING HARD ON THE FACE OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER OR SMACKING THE TOP OF THE DASH RESTORES EVERYTHING.. OWNED IT FOR 4 YEARS AND PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THEY EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE ME.. NOW IT HAS STARTED A NEW ADDITIONAL PROBLEM, "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT COMES ON AND VOLT METER PEGS TO THE RIGHT AT 19 VOLTS. SMACKING DOESN'T HELP THIS, IT JUST GOES AWAY IN A FEW MILES... *TR
