My gauges go haywire the needles shake while driving and when car is off no key in ignition. The lights flash as well. Car will stall in traffic at a stop, the rpm won't go above 2 even when hwy going 60 mph. Mechanic said it's electrical, the dealer took out top counsel as a work around for this electrical issue claiming it was not a recall.
