Consumer Description

TURNED THE CAR OFF , WENT IN THE STORE, CAME OUT AND THE CAR WAS FULL OFF BLACK SMOKE. THE WIRE HARNESS MELTED FROM THE FUSE PANEL BACK TO THE TAIL LIGHTS. DEALER SAID IT STARTED FROM A FAULTY DIODE NEAR THE FUSE PANEL, BUT WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. THANK GOD THE KIDS WEREN'T WAITING IN THE CAR. *NM
