Consumer Description

ALL LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER COME ON RANDOMLY, GAUGES GO TO ZERO. WILL REMAIN IN THIS CONDITION UNTIL CAR IS SHUT OFF. AT TIMES CAR WILL NOT RESTART WITHOUT BANGING ON THE DASH. CAR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN MOTION FOR THIS TO HAPPEN BUT MOST FREQUENTLY IT IS. A NEW IGNITION SWITCH DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. A CHECK ON THE INTERNET SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.
