I am now going on my 3rd incident with this problem! I lose all lights and gauges on my dashboard. Heat turns off and most importantly, my ignition turned off on me and made a grinding sound and I had to pull over. Each time I had cars behind me and thankfully neither I nor the car behind me were injured. All the lights flicker and gauges go all the way down to where I can not tell how fast I am going. My most recent incident was on February 28th, 2015, I was at a stop sign and when it was my turn to go my lights flickered for a second then all gauges went down and the grinding started, it was as if I was trying to drive on neutral, so I then moved to the side because I had a car behind me and the car stopped. I shut it off completely and waited a few minutes before turning it back on. I drive on the expressway 60 miles a day to and from work, I am scared of causing an accident. I took my car previously to auto zone to see why my engine light is on and they checked it and gave me a code of u1411. I looked it up and it has to do with the ignition recall that was sent to me about my car. I have also called a few dealers to see if the part is in and was told no. I have a 5 year old daughter and I'm scared to have her in the car with me because of this! I need for something to be done ASAP!.
