This happens every few weeks at random since I've bought the car. I have had it into two different Volkswagen dealerships for a total of four times. …”

There was no indication of an issue before this failure occured and it still remains unusable after various attempts to resolve the issue per online recommendations. …”

“The instrument cluster became blank suddenly and no longer displays any speed, mileage, temperature or any essential information. It is currently available for inspection.
