| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On numerous ocassions from august, 2002 through the present (february 7, 2004), we have had the fuses labelled "stop" and "hazard" have blown while driving. this results in the following failures: (1) when the "stop" fuse blows, the stop lights do not function (which is unknown to the driver and may result in a crash if the person following does not realize when the car has its brakes applied); (2) the "stop" fuse blowing also causes the shift lock to not function, rendering the car undrivable unless the override is applied; (3) when the "hazard" fuse blows, this results in an immediate stalling of the car, which is extremely dangerous if it occurs in traffic and could cause a fatality; (4) the "hazard" fuse blowing also results in the turn signals and the hazard lights failing to function, so other drivers do not even know there is a problem. i have gone through a number of fuses to temporarily fix these problems.*ak |
