| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - IGNITION | |||
| 09/05/1996 | 12 | 03/01/1990 | |
| The ignition module has failed 12 times. we have had to pull off the road in 10 seconds and have been under constant danger from traffic in each event. the ignition module fails because it gets too hot. after two hours we can continue on our way or get ignition module replaced. the first four times we did not know what caused it and spent over $1,000 trying to find problem. at any time on any trip we could be killed as complete control of the vehicle is lost and in the event we cannot get off the road (which happened in 9/96 and was the most serious instantance) there will be an accident or fatality. we are retired and cannot afford to buy a new vehicle nor can we in good conscious sell it privately due to the major potential problem of accident or death. letter follows. | |||
