Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since purchasing a sedona van in '02 we have had none stop electrical issues. the battery has been replaced at least twice, same for the alternator, and most recently the car caught fire behind the panel nest to the parking brake pedal. my wife drove the car at 1:00pm to the store and then came home, parked in the driveway, and locked the doors. at 10:00pm we were awaken by a neighbor who told us that the car was running, the wipers running, and the interior filling with smoke. i unlocked the doors and used the extinguisher to stop the fire. thankfully she did not park in the garage or our house would probably have caught fire. *tr mm |
