My 4.8 X5 is 2 months old and it's been in the shop for 2 weeks now and counting. I took it in because the instrument cluster warning lights would suddenly go out, then after awhile, they would light up like a christmas tree, then go out again.

At first they said it was some sort of battery that had gone bad causing the instrument cluster to reboot. Then they ended up replacing the entire instrument cluster. Then they couldn't program the new instrument cluster into the computer. Then they replaced the computer hoping that it would allow the instrument cluster to program. No go. Now they're replacing the computer again, claimimg that the 1st replacement computer was bad.

I think they have no clue what the problem is and they're just replacing things hoping that something would work. I bet that when I get the car back, it would have more problems than when I originally brought it in.
