| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The light that comes on when you open the passenger door (under the dash) stayed on with the door shut. the light bulb, burned the plastc around the wires and started the carpet on fire under the dashboard. my husband removed the light bulb and burned his fingers to put the glowing carpet out. then, my turn signals worked sometimes and then at other times did not. they eventually stopped working all together. i took the car for repairs and was told that a relay switch had gone out. next, some of the lights on the temperature control panel went out. not all of them. they replaced my radio because the buttons were peeling. the next day, half of the lights on the radio went out and then came back on. the dealer actually told me that sometimes a new radio's lights will not all kick on right away. this may take some time and if they go out again, i should bring the car back. are they kidding me? i can't believe they are telling me this. there is obviously a problem here.*ak |
