Example complaints
Electrical system: “My car has had a problem for awhile regarding the seat belt warning would sometimes go off when the passenger side was unhooked when it hadn't been connected since starting the car. I would have to leave it hooked up. About a two months ago I noticed an occasional burning smell. Over the last few weeks my corner marker turn signals stopped functioning correctly. When the signal was in the right turn position the corner marker signal on the right would flash dim and the left would flash. The reverse wouldn't happen when set to left turn. …”
