I was driving my car everything was perfectly working.I parked for the night behind my house no problems. I went to drive my car the next morning and all of the dash gauges as well as the reverse lights were out. I took it to an auto repair shop with no explanation as to what was going on. The cluster panel was replaced with no luck of the problem being resolved. Fuses were replaced also. This is not only upsetting but it is also dangerous. I can not and do not drive the car because of this issue. How do I know how much gas I have or how fast I am traveling. After doing some research, this is a problem that has come up before with no solution. Something needs to be done about this issue.

For months prior at night my low beams would dim and get brighter periodically. Then as I was driving one morning I began to smell an electrical burning smell. Luckily I was on my way home which was less than a half mile away. When I got home I opened the hood and saw smoke coming from the fuse box. I immediately disconnected the negative battery cable and proceeded to investigate what happened. Upon further investigation the hdm module had failed and was melted right into the fuse block. If I had driven any longer than I did I feel like my car would have certainly caught fire. Luckily I got home safe and prevented any further damage from my car.
