“I was driving in town, just pulled forward from a stop light. My wipers started running, my entire instrument cluster started flashing. That included, check engine, oil pressure, low voltage, ABS, eps, lost all speedometer reading, RPM reading, fuel level, engine temperature. On the odometer screen it displayed no bus. Now it does it while running, moving, stationary, and not running with the key turned in the on position.”

This was a recall back in 2007 but of course my VIN# was not included and it expired. How can you determine which vehicle and when it will be affected when you send out a recall? I bought the vehicle second hand and do not know what the previous owner did or did not have done. …”
