| 2008 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, WITH DOORS UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOCKED THE DOORS, BEGAN SOUNDING THE HORN, FRONT/BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, AND LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING. I INITIALLY BELIEVED THE ALARM SYSTEM WAS GOING OFF, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE USE OF THE KEY. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, IT APPEARED THAT POWER WAS FAILING AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN LEAKING OUT ALL OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IN FRONT/BACK. SOON AFTER, THE POWER SEEMED TO DIE, BUT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE (UNDER THE BATTERY) CONTINUED TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT POWER ON WITH THE USE OF THE KEY, AND THE CAR HAD TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN RESEARCHING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET, IT WAS FOUND THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, WITH THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES. *JB |
