WHEN DRIVING MY 1995 HONDA ACCORD AT NIGH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT. THE DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE DIMMER SWITCH, BUT HONDA HAS REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND SUDDENLY HAVE ALL OF YOUR INSTRUMENT GO BLACK.*AK
SRS & ABS LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON. AIR CONDITIONER HAS QUIT COOLING. FAULTY CONTROL BOX. *AK
