| I was operating my vehicle on route 10 in prince george county. there is no light on this road. i was having a difficult seeing. the high beam seemed to not illuminate the road sufficiently. the low beams were good for close up but not far away. i pulled the high beam switch back to high beam (flash high) and held it so i could see better. as i was going through an s curve the entire electrical system on the car shut down. i immediately let go of the control and hit the brakes. i lost all power to the car. i can't remember if the motor cut off or not. i almost wrecked the car. after a second or two power came back on. i was in the oncoming lane of traffic with no lights and then they came back on. this is an extremely dangerous function of the vehicle and could easily result in deaths. i wanted you to be aware of this. i have never done this again due to the results of that incident. the date on this incident is an estimate. i have no idea when this happened. just know it was last year. *tr | |||

| Nar 01/15/2003. the idle air control motor failed which caused the vehicle not to idle and stall if the consume did not drive with one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator. the dealer suggested replacing the part, but not under any warranty. the consumer discovered that if he taps on the componet it will work for awhile. also the lower trim on the windshield vibrated and the consumer had to place a card board box between the trim and the windshield to stop the noise. the right passenger window will not operate when the sun heats up and shines on that side of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked. the dealer inspected and greased the track, but the problem continued. the consumer believed it was an electrical issue, because as soon as the door cools off and is parked in the shade, the window operated fine. *jb | |||
