The service vehicle soon and low coolant level lights keep coming on. I had the radiator checked and there is nothing wrong with it. The light still comes on and so did the service vehicle soon light. Took the car back in again today to get it hopefully fixed. A sensor was shorting out for the driver display and replaced. I also had trouble last year with the directional signals going nuts. It was finally diagnosed as a faulty hazard switch that needed to be replaced.
Electrical system - dashboard lights and other instrument lights do not turn on or will turn on only after several minutes of driving. Very inconsistent. Pose danger especially when driving at night.
