Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL DASH BOARD, GAUGES - RPM, GAS, TEMP, GO AROUND UP AND DOWN WILDLY CAUSES SUDDEN DECELERATION. ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON, BATTERY, SEAT BELT, OIL, AIR BAG AND GO ON THEN OFF. I HAD THIS HAPPENED 7 YRS AGO AND DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR UNTIL DASH BOARD WAS NOT WORKING. THEN DASH BOARD COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND DASH BOARD WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS. THERE ARE OVER 10 COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTY ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. TODAY I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY TAKE VIDEO/PICTURE OF THE TROUBLE LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF. THE DIALS AND LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF GOING ALL THE WAY AROUND AND ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN AGAIN. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE.
