Anyone exprience a center temperature console that goes berserk? My inside/outside temperature and compass LEDs flash on and off, pulsate, and do the kabuki dance for a few minutes then return to normal. Its done it twice now, and the dealer says they've never heard of this problem. Anyone have this happen?

Thanks,

Yes, I had the situation as you described. It had happened to me twice. It happened while I was using AC(don't remember was changing the temperature or change the mode). Also, I notice there were few times as I turn the AC on while driving and the radio got turned off. Very strange.

Thanks Skix.

I'm taking mine to the dealer soon -- will be sure to keep you posted. I hope they don't say "sorry, we couldn't duplicate it!"

That happened to me last weekend...The numbers would flicker and I was like what the F? I just had my seat fixed for the "rocking"...Now I notice my wiper blades are both f'd up on the ends..I'm sure it's an easy fix...

Keep us posted!

Guys,

I took my sedan to the dealer today and they swapped out the ECU temp-indicator panel. They said their tech-rep had heard of the problem and recommended changing the entire LED panel. Seems to be OK now!
