NHTSA complaint #10525858, filed 2013-07, 165,355 miles“The instrument panel started going off and on. When it would go off the ABS light would come on and then the engine service light would come on, during this time every thing went out. The speedometer, odometer, gas and temperature gauges went out. I would hit the dash and it would work correctly. I finally had to replace it and that one lasted about a year and a half. So know I have put another one in and at this time having problems getting it to function. I see a lot of complaints on the internet, but none on NHTSA website.”
NHTSA complaint #10267188, filed 2009-04, 145,000 miles“When car is slowing to make a turn, the windshield wipers come on. The service engine light stays on. When a diagnostic test was performed, the code which came up indicated a problem did not exist. It was determined a short caused the windshield wipers and engine light to stay on. When the computer was reset, the light came back on in a matter of minutes. I do not think this problem is due to age of the car. Many of my friends who have these same autos have the same problem. To correct the problem will require an extensive search of the electrical wiring and is performed on an hourly rate. …”
