Default Good question. Mine's starting to fade now that the weather is getting warm.
Strange how it started happening right after my warranty expired...

Default Some advice...
I had mine replaced under warranty, and the tech set the new cluster to 4 cyl (I have a 2.8/auto) which made my tach wrong and caused some wierd shifting. Just something to double check if you do it yourself.

Default display should be a recall item, since it is such a problem
I just had mine replaced the last day of my warrenty. The Mechanic noticed it was bad and replaced my guage cluster with out any problems.

My warrantee ran out last November, looking for a less expensive repair than replacing the cluster.
