Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AFTER A RAIN NOTICED THERE WAS WATER IN RIGHT REAR TAILLIGHT. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STARTED WAS TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL AND RESET THE COMPUTER . WELL THAT WAS GREAT EXCEPT YOU MIGHT NOT WANT THE CAR STARTED THEN BECAUSE EVERYTIME YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE THE RADIO SHUT OFF, GAUGES WOULD PEG OUT AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE RESET. THEN CAR WOULD DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY DRIVING . IF IT TAKES THE NHSTA TO HAVE A DEATH FOR SOMEONE I AM NOT THE ONE IF IT IS WATER THE CAR DOESN'T LIKE I WILL SEND IT BACK TO DETROIT WHERE THEY CAN PUT IT IN IT'S FINAL RESTING PLACE, LAKE MICHIGAN. LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD BECAUSE THESE SMALL INCONVENIENCES TO THEM ARE MAJOR EXPENSES TO US ALL . AND THEY WONDER WHY THE CAR INDUSTRY IS STRUGGLING OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM GENERAL MOTORS. *NM
