Example complaints

“All of my exterior doorhandles no longer work. I can't secure my vehicle without locking myself out as well. The rear passenger interior doorlatch no longer works either so that door can't be opened at all now. I'm paranoid that the rest of my interior latches are going to stop working too & I may be trapped inside because my electric windows have started having issues as well.”

We are not sure what happened and the fire marshal couldn't tell exactly either other than his opinion of maybe an idea of the location it started. I'm not sure if this could be the issue or just a coincidence, but... My power steering sucked and I took it to a mechanic because I was about to go on a 10hr trip. …”
