VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WITH OCCUPANT LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS BEING PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AFTER A TRIP TO THE STORE. FIRE CAUSED VEHICLES DOOR AND WINDOW OPENERS TO FAIL. SINCE THIS INCIDENT I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN OTHER VEHICLES. I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN OTHER VEHICLES AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENSURE THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GET LOCKED IN THEIR VEHICLES WHEN A FIRE STARTS AND KNOCKS OUT THE DOOR OPENERS AND WINDOWS. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY HAD MY MOTHER NOT SPOTTED THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE GARAGE IN TIME.PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL ME IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
SMOKE CAME FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. *AK
TURNING VEHICLE OFF, CANNOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. HAPPENING SINCE NEW. PROBLEM CONTINUOUS. POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY (UP/DOWN). TOOK TO DEALER & MECHANIC SAID SHORT IN ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESS. *AK
THE REASON I AM SENDING THIS TO YOU IS BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THE FUSE IN MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BLOWN INSTEAD OF THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN SMOKING AS IT DID,I AM WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD
WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECURRENT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, YET NONE OF THE RECURRENT PROBLEMS HAS BEEN COVERED BY ANY MANUFACTURERS RECALLS. WE HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY REPEATEDLY AND HAVE HAD CONTINUAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. WE HAVE HAD CONSTANT AND RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE ORIGIANL BRAKING COMPONENTS AND YET WE CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN IN MARCH 1994 IDENTIFYING THE VERY PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING. YET, THERE HAD BEEN NO RECALL. THIS CAR HAS PROBLEMS TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION, AND IT HAS COST US A SMALL FORTUNE TO REPAIR ALL OF THE MALFUNCTIONS.
