Digital image of speedometer and tachometer needles shifted to the left making it impossible to accurately read the speed of the vehicle. Consistent when vehicle stationary or in motion; needle position would change while in motion and changing speeds but majority of "needle" not visible. Did not reset after restarting the vehicle several times. Did reset after a few days.
