Consumer Description

AT RANDOM TIMES AND DAYS, WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE CENTER LCD DISPLAY IS BLANK. THIS DISPLAY IS CRUCIAL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT DISPLAYS YOUR SPEED, THE BATTERY LIFE AND GAS TANK AMOUNT, TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS AS WELL AS OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS NEEDED WHEN DRIVING. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE VEHICLE'S SCREEN IS BLANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 3 OF THE 4 JUST RECENTLY. AFTER A DAY OR 2, THE SCREEN WILL START WORKING AND THEN AFTER A DAY OR 2, IT WOULD STOP. IT'S AN ON GOING ISSUE AND I'M FINDING OUT THROUGH FORUMS THAT THERE'S A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOT JUST WITH THE 2012 VOLT BUT WITH OTHER YEAR VOLTS AS WELL. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BLINDLY WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR SPEED OR HOW MUCH GAS OR BATTERY LIFE YOU HAVE LEFT. *TR
