Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 78 of 78, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Upon starting vehicle air bag light illuminated/ radio did not work, and tail lights malfunctioned. Also, speedometer raced without the vehicle even being on. Took vehicle to dealer. Please provide any further information.
When vehicle is driven between 25-55 MPH engine completely shuts down without warning. Also, when engine shuts down oil light illuminates. Dealer replaced wiring harness which did not correct the problem.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Defective installation of wiring harness caused open in crank sensor wire. Harness was not properly secured which allowed chaffing on cv boot. Result was complete loss of power in high speed lane of san diego freeway, placing the driver in extreme danger of collision from rear as car was coasted to safe shoulder.
Vehicle stalled, the hot muffler caused the bumper to melt due to design location, the problem was misdiagnosed the first time and the second time the dealer found the problem to be a faulty ignition coil.
While driving on a dark road electrical system disappeared without warning. Sometimes it was hard for headlights to come on. Did go out one time on their own. Had not been to dealer.
During a rain storm and while driving on the center lane of a three lane highway I turned on my signals and my wipers and the fuse blew because both are on the same circuit. This does not give a driver the opportunity to signal to others while trying to pull off the road because he can dot see due to the rain. I think the signals should be shared with the radio circuit. That way when the fuse blows and you no longer hear your radio that means you no longer have signal lights either. Or put each important device on its own fused circuit.
