| Slowly buyt surely, some of my electrical systems have been failing. it first started with lights burning out repeatedly, then went to turn signals not working properly, then went to power windows functioning improperly, then the temperature/mpg/oil display stopped functioning, then i had to replace the alternator and the problems got even worse. i have also had issues with the vehicle drfiting up to 3 feet backwards if on a slight incline and in drive. please check into these issues and resolve. i am scared for my family's safety due to the increasing electrical issues. i am beginnning to think this may be a fire hazard. we have tried replcaing the switches for the windows, the bulbs and tail light assembly. the issues with the windows get better when the switch is replaced and then get even worse than before in no time flat. in addition to these issues we have had to replace the bearings repeatedly. | |||
