While driving and without warning, all of electrical outlets went out, resulting in windows/radio, and air conditioning becoming inoperative. Dealer has been notified about the occurring problem on more than one occasion; however, had no remedy for problem. *ak the speedometer is the only thing operable on the dash. Upon starting the vehicle the only thing operable was the radio. Consumer didn't report the defect because all systems started working on their own. This problem has been reoccuring. There has been two attempts at repair but to no avail. The cause was the ignition switch shorted causing the power accessories circuit connector to melt.
Vehicle was going 60mph as throttle lost pressure and engine was hesitating. Problem was intermittent, and already been in to dealer 6 times. Fuel pump/ ground wires, and fuel filter were replaced to correct the problem that was still progressing. Dealer was contacted. Please provide more information.
