| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car stalls without warning. it may run fine for several weeks, then suddenly stall. this has caused near-accidents, as engine suddenly fails to respond in situations where acceleration is required; passing, merging, crossing intersections. dealer diagnosed as short in egi harness. breakage inside the harness appears to be a frequently occuring problem in this vehicle, based on other reports on web discussion boards. also, manufacturer has issued technical service bulletin, so they are aware that this happens, and have published a fix that works only in some cases (i.e., an unshielded wire short). manufacturer, in spite of this being a common problem, refuses to offer any assistance in repairing, and ascribes it to normal wear and tear. the only solution for the consumer is to pay nearly $3,000 to have the entire harness replaced, when as i experienced, the short is in a shielded wire (per tsb). |
