Dash lights go out losing speedometer and all instrument aids such as lights high & low, turning signals, and air bag just to mention a few. The dash panel cluster controls so many functions that control of the vehicle becomes dangerous especially at night. Manufacture has treated problem as a warranty issue but it should be recalled before someone gets hurt.
