Consumer Description
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START IN THE GARAGE. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY. FUEL PUMP RELAY OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE FUSE BLOCK. THE 20 AMP FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY DID NOT FAIL. A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RELAY SHOWS AN INTERNAL BURN MARK BETWEEN PINS 85 & 86. SINCE THIS BLOCK IS UNDER THE REAR SEAT, ON WHICH MY GRANDCHILDREN OUR STRAPPED IN I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHANCES OF FIRE. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THEIR IS NO RECALL, BUT A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET INDICATES AN ONGOING PROBLEM.
