Entire gauge cluster failed. Headlights and running lights came on with the switch in the off position. Turn signals, emergency flashers and brake lights did not operate. Electric locks did not operate. It has happened twice. The first time it corrected itself after checking all of the fuses. The second time it was taken to the dealership. The dealership has diagnosed a internal short in the gauge cluster with an expected repair cost of $900.
