While driving along at approximately 65 MPH the gas gauge suddenly went from 1/4 to zero. In addition the tachometer went to zero , the temp gauge went to the off gauge and the speedometer went to 120 and stayed there. The ABS light also came on and stayed there. This is a major safety defect and my research reveals that it is a known problem and due to poor cold solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board. Multiple vehicle owners have reported this problem and many people have paid for repairs that they should not have had to pay for because of a defective printed circuit board problem. If the problem has been in existence since production it seems reasonable that the problem should be fixed at no cost to the vehicle owner. Not knowing vehicle speed, fuel level, engine temp is a major hazard and an accident waiting to happen.

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Dt: contact stated while driving the interior light dimmed, and the ABS light on the dashboard came on. The entire electrical system failed and the vehicle stalled. The problem occurred without warning. The dealer has not been contacted yet. The manufacturer informed her that she needed to have the vehicle looked at. The vehicle will have to be towed to the dealer.
The anti-lock brake system warning light illuminated and was taken to the dealer for service. Dealer diagnosed the ABS hydraulic control unit had failed and needed to be replaced. *jb the control unit was covered by the manufacturer in 1998. Failure of this part could allow the brakes to lock up causing the vehicle to slide out of control.
When brakes were depressed, the pedal traveled to the floor, and the ABS light illuminated. The dealership replaced the senor, however the problem recurred.
Consumer states the vehicle is experiencing an electrical problem in which the ABS and engine lights illuminate and the other dash lights go out completely, the dealer has been unable to remedy this problem.
If your not the correct organization to report this too, and you know the correct organization could you please forward this to them? This morning on the way to work my 1999 plymouth grand voyager's electrical system cut off and cut right back on again for no apparent reason. The cd player cut off, the door locks activated, the lights went out but the ABS light came on afterwards. I was not going extremely fast about 45miles per hour, on a straight road with no bumps or vibrations to shake something loose. I'm concerned because if this had happened while I was passing someone it could have possibly caused an accident. I called the dealer and was told no one else had complained of this problem but thought I should let someone know in case it was a serious, re-call type of, problem
