The dashboard gauges suddenly drop dead. Abs and brake light on. A/c is getting affected. All the needles start dancing. Car starts shaking and getting warm. It comes and goes. Similar year cars have the same complaint. Apparently it has to do with the abs module short circuiting. This is a big life and safety concern and there should be a recal please. This happens anywhere and everywhere.
