Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DT: THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CONSUMER SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR A INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RECALL. HE FOUND A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD WILL GO FROM 10MPH TO 140 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER WOULD GO FROM NORMAL TO 0. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START.
