INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT WORK. THEREFORE DO NOT KNOW THE SPEED IN WHICH IS BEING TRAVELED, TEMPERATURE OF ENGINE, AMOUNT OF FUEL OR ANYTHING. CHECK GUAGES LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF LIKE EVERY WEEK. HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT STOPPED WORKING AND PERSONAL MECHANIC IS APPALLED AT THE ISSUE.

2 ISSUES. FIRST, TEMPERATURE GAUGE READ HIGHER AND HIGHER EACH TIME THE CAR WAS STARTED UNTIL THE NEEDLE WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE SPEEDOMETER AND KEPT THE SPEEDOMETER FROM READING THE SPEED. ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER WAS REPLACED. SECOND ISSUE WAS PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT WOULD PERIODICALLY LOCK, NOT ALLOWING THE PASSENGER TO USE THE SEAT BELT.

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER REGISTER BELOW ZERO WHEN STOPPED OR IN MOTION. NO WAY TO TELL THE SPEED OR RPM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ALL ON THE ROAD. IF CONTROLLING SPEED IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WORTH RECALLING WHY DO WE HAVE SPEED LIMITS? NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND LAUNCH A RECALL AS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND NOT ISOLATED ITS VERY WIDESPREAD AND THE FACT THEY HAVE NEGLECTED IT SHOWS THERE REAL LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.
