Consumer Description
THE TIPM MALFUNCTIONED ON MY CAR. WHICH CAUSES ME DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE TO LOSE ELECTRONICS, HORN STAYED ON, WIPERS STAYED ON AND MY CAR DOWN SHIFTED AND WOULD NOT UP SHIFT. I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID BEING HIT. THE DEALERSHIP SAW THE CAR IN PERSON WHILE ALL THE ELECTRONIC PARTS WERE GOING HAYWIRE. THEN CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE BATTERY HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR. *JB
