Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

Upon inspection, it was discovered that the wiring harness was severely burnt and melted, creating a significant safety hazard that could cause stalling, fire, or total electronic failure. The dealership later diagnosed a PCM failure, which was not detected during the first repair visit. …”
