This is ridiculous, all of my dashboard lights will come on at the same time, and during that time the speedometer will stop working. I also have issues with heater changing to air conditioner in the heart of winter. I can sometimes move the temperature control to air conditioner and then back to heat, but other times it doesn't work. This issue upsets me more when I have my children in the car with me, and its very cold out.

I wish there was a recall on it since I had read several complaints online with the same issues I am having. There has to be a solution
