THERES SEEMS TO BE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH CAUSE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LIGHT TO FLICKER WHEN DRIVING. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR HEATER IS ON OR DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE VERY KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET BOARDS WITH CHARGER OWNERS.

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK OF MY VEHICLE, STARTS PROPERLY AND RUNS GOOD FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STALLS, PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, START AGAIN AND RUNS FINE FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES AND THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN, VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, IT HAPPEN ALSO TWICE WHEN TURNING AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALMOST RAN OUT OF THE ROAD THE FIRST TIME AND THE SECOND HAD TO APPLY BRAKES HARD IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, VERY UN-SAFE AND DANGEROUS. WHEN DRIVEN ABOUT 40-60 THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN STARTS ALL OVER WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED UP AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS, POLICE REPORT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTATION TO UPLOAD AND HOPE NOT TO HAVE ANY TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.
