problem #1

May 162005

9-3 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 40,000 miles
Dash information display pixels burn out/disappear. While annoying for time and radio display, this could be a safety issue as this display reports temperature outside (in icy conditions) and mechanical/functional problems with the car. If the display is illegible a driver could misinterpret a problem.
