| 2003 | EQUIPMENT | I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOME. I HAD NOT BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES WHEN MY FRONT SPEAKERS SHUT OFF. I THEN START TO NOTICE A BURNING SMELL. I SEE THE INTERIOR START TO FILL UP WITH SMOKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ENGINE FIRE AT FIRST UNTIL I NOTICED A FIRE IN MY PASSENGER DOOR SPEAKER. I PULLED OVER BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. I MADE A CALL TO 911 TO SEND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THANKFULLY THE FIRE HOUSE WAS VERY CLOSE AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE IT DAMAGED MORE THAN JUST THE DOOR. I HAVE THE DOOR AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED AUG 18TH 2008. I HAVE NOT TAKEN APART, REPLACED, OR UPGRADED ANY DASH, RADIO OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OF THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. ADDITIONALLY I AM ALSO MISSING THE HEAT AND A/C KNOB AS IT BROKE OFF LAST WINTER. *TR |
| 2008 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | MY LANCER WILL DECELERATE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER PROGRAM AND THAT SOME OF THEIR CARS, JUST COMING OFF THE TRUCKS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY REFLASHED THE COMPUTER, THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR YESTERDAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WAS GOING ONLY 20 MPH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO FLASH IT AGAIN AND THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AT $750.00. *TR |
