Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle stalled in the middle of the road. after numerous hours of investigations and replacing potentially faulty parts, it was realized that this was a wire harness failure. a common problem found on this model, i.e. degradation of wiring harness, leaving bare wires which short-circuit. this could potentially cause catastrophic failure resulting in death if not addressed since the harness essentially controls electrical and safety sensor. *jb
