| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2 - electrical problems the first problem resulted in about $800 worth of repairs - a wire underneath the dash grounded itself on the frame of the automobile. this showed itself by blowing several fuses as well a shutting down the ability to put the car in gear once started. it took several weeks to realize the exact problem. replacing fuses helped, but blow several days later. many options such as the power windows, radio, rear wipers, running board lights, interior lights, etc. would not work. the second instance is even more alarming - the speed control deactivation switch caught fire while in the garage. my wife was at home at the time. she needed something out of the car. when she opened the door to the garage she noticed that the garage was full of smoke. she called 911. the fire department got the car out and extinguished the fire.... we were lucky.*jb |
