About 3 years into owning this '99 forester, the illumination for my gear shifting column between the front seats went out. cost to repair was prohibitive, so i learned to deal with it. about 2 years ago, the led clock above the mirror went out. cost to repair $180, so i decided to live without a clock. last friday, the led that illuminates the gas gauge, speedometer and odometer went out. now i have to periodically turn on the cabin light to see how fast i'm driving, how much gasoline i have and how many miles i've driven. what's next? this is ridiculous! *tr
