Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR IN A RAIN STORM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. ENGINE WOULD STOP AND THEN RESTART, ALL POWERED EQUIPMENT WOULD TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON. EVERY LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO CYCLING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF WHILE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE FULL RUN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN IGNITION SWITCH WAS MOVED TO THE OFF POSITION. AFTER BEING POWERED OFF FOR A LONG TIME AND WITH THE KEY COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ANY ACCESSORIES (RADIO, AC, ETC) WHICH HAD BEEN POWERED ON BEFORE SHUTDOWN, WOULD RE-ACTIVATE. *LN
