Consumer Description

WHEN I UNLOCK THE DRIVER DOOR WITH THE FOB, THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THE RELAY ELECTRICAL WIRING STARTED BURNING. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CAR DEALER THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. MYSELF AND FOUR OTHER PEOPLE SMELLED THE BURNING. I GAVE THE CAR BACK AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO SATISFY THE SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY AN AUTO ZONE MECHANIC TO PARK THE CAR BEFORE IT CATCHES ON FIRE.
