| Dt: contact states while driving gradually lost engine power to where it would not go over 50 mph. it continued to lose power. he saw and smelled smoke inside. he turned around and saw smoke coming from the floor right in front of the center seat. he pulled over, and got out in an area where no one would be in danger. by the time he got out of the car and pulled the key out there were flames coming from the passenger side. within 25 minutes the car burned up. *ak | |||

| First issue: the windshield wipers fail to operate correctly. i replaced the blades and theres no improvement. they might go up/down 2 or 3 times then get stuck in up position, soon discovered that hitting bumps corrected for few seconds then again, they would fail to work properly. i took the vehicle to the repair shop & they said that it looked like the bearing was loose & later i replaced the wiper motor. #2: the fuel gauge is inaccurate & floats with acceleration or turns. the fuel warning light only illuminates after you've ran out of gas, you are out of gas when needle is slightly above 1/4 tank mark. #3: the front driver seatbelt fails to retract & often is shut in door b/c of failure. also the seatbelt warning light/signal will only operate after you wiggle floor attached buckle. #4: the service engine soon light illuminates & remains lit. when attempting to retrieve trouble code the pcm does not communicate w/ scope diagnoster or when using aldl jumper wire method the service engine soon light never flashes the codes. #5: the driver electric window jumps when lowering & often falls from 1/2 up position & the passenger window rools only 1/2 down then must be pulled up by hand. also, it makes a loud vibrating noise. #6: driver exterior door handle is broken & liftgate lock/latch does not lock & is loose. #7: transmission just suddenly went into neutral while exiting highway @55mph. when i kill the engine momentarily, the restarting problem subsided temporarily & also safety swithches did not function properly (would not start in neutral). i rebuilt the transmission & replaced all associated switches/modules.*ak | |||
