ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS INOPERATIVE. I AM UNABLE TO TELL MY SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, OIL LEVEL AND PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, WHETHER OR NOT MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON OR OFF, OR WHETHER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. I USE MY GPS AS A SPEEDOMETER AND HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON HIGH-SPEED LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS 4 TIMES. THE DEALER WANTS NEARLY $500 TO FIX THIS ALTHOUGH IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM (SEE GOOGLE). RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. I'VE ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A ZONE REP AND GOTTEN NOWHERE. THE TWO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN ON 3/9/2017. ONE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND ONE WITH THE ENGINE OFF. THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE!!!
