Consumer Description

THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND THE LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE ON A RAINY NIGHT. ALSO THE CAR WOULDN'T EXCELLERATE. WHEN I PULLED OVER I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMES ON BY ITSELF AND IT'S MAKES ME AFRAID IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR AND A LOUD CLICKING.
