Instrument cluster went out while driving. This included the speedometer, fuel gauge, RPM. And engine temperature gauge. I had no idea the speed in which I was driving. I have had the car for 10 days. I was heading in the same direction as the dealership when this occurred. Drove it right there and made sure they saw it was not working before taking and turning the vehicle off and on. The dealership said it needed a new instrument cluster and it would be 3 to 5 days to get the part. The dealer tried to get me to take the vehicle and bring it back when the part came in since the instrument cluster came back on. I told them I did not feel safe doing that. The dealership ending up giving me a rental car.
