The dealership finally corrected the problem (or so they believed) and that took about 2 weeks to finish. Now the doors are locking and unlocking by themselves. I'm thinking about getting rid of the car.”

She pulled off the road and the low beams illuminated approximately two minutes later. When the high beams finally illuminated, the vehicle completely lost power and the engine shut off. The vehicle would not restart and was towed to the dealer. The diagnosis was that the floor harness had burned out from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Nhtsa campaign id number 07v452000 (exterior lighting) was referenced. …”
