| 102242 mi | Cluster replaced due to failed temperature gauge. After installation, the MILs for Brake, ABS, TCS illuminated. The car does not have any of these options. They did not know how to program the cluster. Sent to their FORD dealer since a Trans service was being done for further diagnostics. 2nd gauge cluster put into the vehicle, same MILs illuminated. Cluster pulled, and the 1st replacement put back in. This was when they deferred the situation to their FORD dealer, which is what should have been done in the first place. |
| 102292 mi | There was no trunk light at purchase; the assembly was missing from the trim piece. Custom LED light made. 3rd Cluster replacement due to errors from the first and second attempt at Smail Acura in Greensburg. They were unable to program the cluster properly thus MILs were on for systems not installed in the vehicle at the factory. A second key was needed, so they had to make another one, as I did not bring both. |
