Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When the engine is running the dash lights and high beam indicator will flicker on and off. They turn on very briefly and are not visible during the daylight , not sure if they're flickering or not.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 15 MPH the dashboard lights, head lights and the dome lights intermittently flickered in and out. When the vehicle was taken to the dealership, they determined the electrical system had a defect; however it could not be repaired. The manufacturer has been alerted.
Dt when putting the vehicle into park it will jump into reverse. On one occasion the vehicle rolled away, and over top on the consumer, across a street, and hit a parked vehicle. Consumer had cuts and bruises on his knees from avoiding the rolling vehicle. On other occasions, could not get the key out of the ignition when it shifted into park. Did this intermittently. This has happened a dozen times. This happened around january 15, 2005. Had not contacted the dealer. An engineering firm was sending someone to look at vehicle.
Consumer states: all of a sudden vehicle died when making a turn in traffic , no lights came on, it just died. Dealer couldn't find anything wrong the first time but then they called back had us come in, and they flashed the computer, and then had us bring it back and flashed again.
