Consumer Description

I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY RIGHT FRONT WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN. THEN HEAD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FIRST NEGATIVE THEN POSITIVE REMOVED ECM AND CLEANED ALL PINS ON ECM AND THE SOCKET IT PLUGS INTO USING ELECTRONIC PARTS CLEANER. I WAITED FOR THE SOCKET AND PINS TO DRY BEFORE REPLACING THE ECM AND RECONNECTING THE POWER. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF FOR A WHILE. NOW ALL PROBLEMS CAME BACK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK NOW ALL PROBLEMS CAME BACK AND VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM'S MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NO RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ECM IS CAUSING MANY PROBLEMS SINCE ALL 3 ISSUES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ECM UNIT. *TR
