“Basically, this vehicle has had several electrical problems since I have owned it ( I am the original owner). The windshield wipers go on intermittently , I have put 3 or 4 new batteries in it. The alarm system does not function properly. I have heard the NHTSA is investigating the air bag, horn and cruise control problem. Has any decisions been made so that I wont have to pay $300.00 to fix this defect. ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****770839”
