“I have had numerous electrical problems with the vehicle. I replaced the ignition switch, fusible link, and starter when the ignition started to smoke/burn when starting in the parking lot. The replacement starter failed 3 months later and the replacement fusible link 4 months later. I have also had the power windows repaired 3 times, the power locks twice, the battery twice, and the turn signal/multifunction lever once in 3 1/2 years. A power lock broke again a few weeks ago.”
