Has anyone seen a Instrument Cluster do this??? (See Attached Photo) While Driving today (55Mph) had a slight incline to go up, the truck downshifted from 6th gear to 5th gear very hard and then after that the display showed no odometer just ---------------- (dashes), the Speedometer read 0 and would not move. The Gear reading for the transmission would not move past 5th and when slowing down to a stop would sit on 3rd. During acceleration from a stop you could tell that the transmission was not in 1st gear. The Airbag light was on, and if you turned on the Turn Signal and made a Left or Right Turn, signal would not turn off on its own. All the Sub Screens on the instrument information screens would not display any mileage information, Fuel information except for Drive Time. Once the Truck was turned off and restarted cluster and shifting operated as normal. Took it to a local dealer and was told it was just a Glitch and turning off and back on resolved it.
That's pretty similar to the leadframe recall/warranty issue for 2011-2013s. Most people have it downshift to 1st, but other gears have also happened. Seem to be more and more reports of 2014s, now. I'd report it to the NHTSA if I were you. Maybe eventually you can get the recall/warranty extended to 2014s. That's how we got it extended to include 2013s this year.
