Consumer Description

THE WIRING HARNESS IS DETERIORATING , THE INSULATION IS COMING OFF , PEELING ,AND I GUESS THIS IS DUE TO A KNOWN DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BROKE DOWN ON THE ROAD THREE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO BE FIXED , BUT THE WHOLE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED UNTIL THE WIRING HARNESS IS REPLACED I HAVE HEARD THAT THE COMPANT HAS IN THE PAST REPLACED SOME OF THE HARNESSES BUT I AM UNABE TO GET THE LOCAL DEALER TO RESPOND. *CN
