| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since i have owned this car i have had small electrical problems - moonroof won't open or close, g door opener not working after 3 days, must press unlock button several times to unlock doors. also, the car bounces at all speeds, and shifts late. labor day, 2004, i was driving the car when all gages went out - speed od, gas, oil press, entire abs system, etc. i found it was fuse 24 and replaced it. this fuse blew 4 more times over the next 3 days - once it blew when replacing it. the dealership said this was not a safety issue and scheduled repair for 2 weeks later. (the abs system still reported warnings on the message display). once the dealership finally worked on it, they replaced the central electrical box and ordered a new transmission which still needs to be installed. i still have the above electrical problems along with the other problems which the dealership claims are all related. there is 10,000 miles on this car. previously, i owned a 1999 xc. i continued to have electrical problems with this car until i started it at a daycare to have the battery explode. solution to this problem was to upgrade me to the 2004 with the assurance the problems i had on the 1999 were "highly unusual and unheard of". due to my past experience, and the very similar problems i am having with the 2004, i feel very unsafe in this vehicle. *ak |
