What owners wrote

The primary instrument display started to go out when it was cold, below 50'F. This could be mitigated by running the engine or running the defrost for a period of time to warm up the area around the display. When it was too cold this winter, that was no longer effective and the display would not come on at all. The car would drive and all of the instruments displayed on the screen would work (cruise control, etc.), but there was no way to know how fast I was going and if there were any warning lights illuminated.
