| The heat shield over the catalytic converter rusted prematurely and fell off. the dealers claimed this part was not essential and no repairs were made. still concerned me. i also have had an unusual history of electrical related problems, to wit: (1) power window switch replaced twice; (2) instrument light switch; (3) fan switch; (4) alternator, (5) both engine cooling fans. i think there is a primary electrical problem causing all of these failures from the time i got the car, but the dealer says they must be coincidence. i never received any notification for the recalls involving the antilock breaks that i have or the front springs. i have always had one problem with antilock breaks that they have never been able to diagnose. when driving on ice, if i become stuck and the wheels spin any, then the antilock break light comes on and will not go out unless i shut off the motor and restart the engine. both of these items are listed here on your site. incident date is estimated date for the heat shield. other items were at different times.*ak | |||

| I drove home and locked my car doors and went into the house. the lights and everything were off in the car. the next morning i walk to my automobile and opened thedoor and a heavy odor came from the car...i looked in and the steering column and wheel was fully melted. the steering rod and part of the steering wheel was the only thing recognizable in the car. there was a large puddle of melted plastic and wiring that burnt through the floor mats and to the carpet. part of the dashboard was also melted due to the fire. i called my insurance and they sent out an inspector the investigate the situation said that the fire was put out by a lack of oxygen. if i would of had the window cracked the whole car would of been burnt. this is a very serious problem because this could of caused exponential damage to my townhouse,and could even of killed me. the car is in excellent condition with low miles. i take very good care of it and to have this happen is out of my control. i am afraid to get near the car due to another possible electric fire. i was told not to enter the car becuase it has damaged the air bag sensors. black smoke has filled the car ruining the seats and even some personal items. when the fire took place, it dropped the melting plastic to the floor, ruining the carpet and front seat. i need to know what legal action i can take to get this settled. *ak | |||
