Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I could not recognize any prior symptoms other than possibly relating to an engine knock when the wire gets very hot before ignition switch socket has repeatedly melted since than. I have torn open and inspected each individual wire in the main harness in the engine compartment, the entire dash and even went as far as separating the fuse block for a possible short there. I have put it in shops and no one has found anything wrong to cause it.”
