Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had an electrical problem with my car that i believe is a flaw in the design of the car. first my automatic door locks stopped working and a "service vehicle" light came on. i took the car to the dealer. they replace a blown fuse. two to three days later the same problem occurred again. i just did not have time to take the car in again to have a "blown fuse" replaced again. approximately a month later it had gotten to the point that my car would not start. i had the car towed to the dealer. they finally (after having my car for a day and a half) figured out what was wrong with the car. the driver's door has a wire inside it for the automatic locks. rolling the driver's side window up and down caused the wire to chaffe and become bare. the wire would touch something metal in the door and blow the fuse. this, in my opinion, could cause a fire hazard or other safety issues. *jb
