| I have had several problems with my power windows going up and down and then just not working at all. i smell smoke sometimes but can't locate the cause of the smoke. i have also had problems with the electrical connection to the radio, which also works sometimes but the majority of the time it does not work. i have had this problem for a long time now and need a resolution before my suv catches fire. i also have problems with the drivers side power door lock which works intermittently-whenever it pleases. i recently started having problems with my rear wiper blade-turn it on and it moves a little then stops. my headlights dim up and down while driving...i have replaced the alternator and the battery and still don't have enough power for some reason-dealerships want to charge a lot of money just to diagnose when it appears that this is obviously a defect in the electrical system of the suv. *tr | |||
