| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS | |||

| On numerous ocassions from august, 2002 through the present (february 7, 2004), we have had the fuses labelled stop and hazard have blown while driving. this results in the following failures: (1) when the stop fuse blows, the stop lights do not function (which is unknown to the driver and may result in a crash if the person following does not realize when the car has its brakes applied); (2) the stop fuse blowing also causes the shift lock to not function, rendering the car undrivable unless the override is applied; (3) when the hazard fuse blows, this results in an immediate stalling of the car, which is extremely dangerous if it occurs in traffic and could cause a fatality; (4) the hazard fuse blowing also results in the turn signals and the hazard lights failing to function, so other drivers do not even know there is a problem. i have gone through a number of fuses to temporarily fix these problems.*ak | |||

| Car starts driving rough and shaking. first time at 350 miles and they replaced fuel pump and something else to do with gas. second time at 1215 they replaced the spark plugs. third time at 1600 miles they couldn't determine what was happening or causing but quessed something to do with 3rd cyclinder. they drove it till it happened again around 1900 with a black box and it showed everything it was doing. they have decided to replace the whole motor. we want a different car but they so far won't do that. this started at 350 miles and seems to happen about everytime we refuel and drive a far distance. during the week it only goes short trips in town. how lemony does it have to be??? | |||
