Some Dashboard Displays not working
A few months ago, I noticed that the LED section of the dash where the mileage is would just black out. It was fairly intermittent. As I feared, the problem has been progressing ... last night I realized that when this happens the red LED which shows which gear you're in when shifting manually doesn't work also.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I'm just wondering what to expect when I bring it to the dealer.

Its the entire LCD display where the little car is (car door indicators, mileages, outside temp, etc). Also the red lcd for the gear you're in when shifting manually.

Sounds like you might have a loose bulb in there. I'm sure the dealer will charge you an arm & a leg to check that out and replace the bulbs if that's the case. Another idea might be a loose connection to the gauge cluster itself, though I'm not sure how that could happen honestly, since they should be in there pretty tight.
There's three #74 bulbs behind the odometer. Sounds like one of them just burnt out.

It's not a bulb issue .... the RED LCD for the Gear doesn't have a bulb. Two different type of lighting that aren't functioning simultaneously. I can see they are getting some power but are barely illuminating.
