THE ABOVE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 10/29/2010, WHILE CONDUCTING THE FIRST 30 DAY RIVING TEST, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THE DISPLAY LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON AND THEREFORE HAD TO DRIVE IN THE EVENING WITHOUT THIS KNOWLEDGE. DURING THE DAILIGHT, WHEN I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN CRUISE CONTROL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO TELL ME SO. THERE ARE MANY OTHER FEATURES TO THIS INSTUMENT THAT I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WORK OR NOT. UPON BRINGING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE PURCHASING DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THAT THE WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED ON APRIL 2010 AND THEREFORE IF I WANTED IT FIXED, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $600.00 TO GET IT FIXED. THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME WHILE BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE, HOW CAN THEY TELL ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY REPAIR OF THIS MAGNITUDE WHEN IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE WORKHORSE RECALL NUMBER WAS BULLETIN NO. 50402-C. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD PAY FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.
