| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR | 2002 SEDONA WAS REPAIRED 2 TIMES WITH LESS THEN 200 MILES ON IT FOR BATTERY DRAINING- CLAIM WAS IT WAS THE RADIO DIDN'T SHUT OFF WITH THE CAR. THEN LAST MONTH WITH 59.000 MILES ON IT I COMPLAINED OF THE CAR HESITATING AND LIGHTS FLICKERING, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON, CLAIM TO REPAIR WAS TUNE-UP- 1700.00 AND TWO MONTHS LATER MY BATTERY WENT ON FIRE WITH 5 PEOPLE IN IT, 3 CHILDREN AND ONE IS CARRIED OUT HANDICAPPED. LIGHTS FLICKERED, ODOMETER WENT NUTS WITHOUT THE ENGINE RACING, DOOR LOCKS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED, BATTERY LIGHT, BREAK LIGHT, AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WIPERS WENT ON WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON WITH THE SWITCH AND THE HAZARDS WENT ON WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. I AM MORE THEN HAPPY TO FILE A CONSUMER COMPLAINT AND A LAWSUIT. MY DEALER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS I WAS TOLD WHEN MY CAR WENT ON FIRE TWO WEEKS AGO. SO NOW IT IS AT ANOTHER DEALER AND AT 65,000 NOT COVERED, IT WILL BE COVERED. I AM ACTUALLY COMPILING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THE SAFETY OF THESE BATTERIES. I WANT MY CAR FIXED AND ALL THESE VANS RECALLED TO FIND OUT THE REASON, I WOULD NOT WANT ONE OF MY FAMILIES KILLED AND DON'T WANT TO WAIT TILL IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE'S. ALL OF US CAN'T BE WRONG AND AS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND A POSSIBLE MEANS OF KILLING PEOPLE WHEN THE DOORS LOCK AND WON'T LET YOU OUT WHEN THE CAR IS ON FIRE - ?? GET WITH IT PEOPLE. RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. USE MY CAR AS YOUR TEST SUBJECT, I OFFER IT. NOW MY DAUGHTERS LUNGS HURT FROM THE SMELL OF THE SULFUR HURRYING TO GET THE KIDS OUT. *NM |
