Consumer Description

MY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE(UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ONCE OUT OF POCKET TO THE TUNE OF $1800). ALL THE GAUGES, MILEAGE, GAS, WATER AND OIL GAUGE, BATTERY, GEAR SHIFT AND OTHERS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE OF THE WARNINGS AND SETTINGS. WHEN GAS GAUGE IS INOPERABLE, A SHUTDOWN ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR ROADWAY IS DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY. CAR CAN OVERHEAT IF GAUGE IS NOT REGISTERING PROPER LEVEL. WINDOW MOTORS FREQUENTLY ARE INOPERABLE CAUSING WATER INTRUSION AND WINDOW FOG WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING
