Consumer Description

2006 MITSUBISHI GALANT, 109,777 MILES: DRIVING HOME THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE SONORAN DESERT IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA AT 11:30PM MY GALANT ELECTRICALLY DIED. MY ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION MODULE, PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, HEAD LIGHTS, RADIO ALL WENT DEAD. DEALER FOUND THREE POWER CABLES TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT RUN UNDER THE CARPET ON PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION HUMP HAD SHORTED OUT BECAUSE THREE PROTRUSIONS ON A BODY WELD WORKED THROUGH THE INSULATION AND SHORTED ALL POWER TO GROUND. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE CENTER LANE ON THE FREEWAY AT RUSH HOUR I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED POSSIBLY ALONG WITH OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
