| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: March 2006- driving home from work in school traffic, running speed limit, obd failed, car cut off and locked up after guiding it to shoulder of roadway. vehicle was towed to local dealership. obd replaced.vehicle intermittently will reset passenger compartment temperatures on climate controls, clock will drastically change it's time from the time it's parked to the time it's started again. march 2007- after i left work, i drove approximately 5 miles and parked in a public parkinglot. vehicle cut off for approximately 30 minutes, i unlocked my vehicle with the remote, got in and started the car. the car fired up without hesitation. as i put my seatbelt on, my computer started warning me to check abs system, check stabilitrak system, and the check engine light came on. when i realized what was happening, the car cut off and would not start, it wouldn't even turn over. i waited an hour or so for a wrecker. while i waited i would turn the key to listen to the radio to occupy my mind until it timed out, then i would turn the key again and repeat the process. the radio, door locks, windows and trunk all operated efficiently by remote and door controls. vehicle was taken to the same local dealership as before. the diagnostics computer stated that the battery was bad and the battery was replaced. since then, i have still had the intermittent issues with the climate controls. i contacted the manufacturer to ask about a buyback and could not get the initial customer service representative to call back. i finally got disgusted and spoke to anyone who could look up my information and tell me what decision had been made regarding the electrical issue. the manufacturer stated that there would be no action taken, as the issue had not recurred within the week of the pending request from the time that the battery was replaced. *tr |
