Consumer Description

SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON, RPM'S DROP TO 0, GAS DROPS TO 0, CONSTANT DRAINING OF BATTERY AND IS DEAD AFTER 10 OR SO HOURS. MANY PEOPLE ON FORUMS ARE ALL COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING AND EVEN MECHANICS SAY THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS YET THERE IS NO RECALL! I HAVE SPENT AS OF NOW 1000 DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEM AND MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY!!! I HAVE PUT IN A NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW BATTERY, NEW BCM, AND NOW A NEW IGNITION SWITCH! I CURRENTLY HAVE THE OLD BCM AND THE NEW ONE IS IN MY CAR. *TR
