Consumer Description
I AM FACING ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN MY CAR VERY FREQUENTLY. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OCCURS TWO WAYS, 1) WHILE RUNNING 2) WHILE STARTING THE CAR WHILE RUNNING:- WHEN THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE COME WHILE CAR IS RUNNING THEN THE BELOW PROBLEM OCCURS, 1. TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE SET TO PARKING, IF SET TO PARKING THEN WE CANNOT MOVE TO NEUTRAL OR DRIVE. IT WILL BE STUCK AND TOW IS THE ONLY OPTION. 2. TURN LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. 3. HEAD LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. 4. DOOR GLASS SLIDING WILL NOT WORK. 5. AC WILL NOT WORK 6. CAR DISPLAY WILL NOT WORK FOR CLOCK AM/FM 2) WHILE STARTING THE CAR:- IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE STARTING THE CAR THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO ONLY START THE CAR AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT WORK. WE CANNOT MOVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARKING TO NEUTRAL OR DRIVE. TOWING THE VEHICLE IS THE ONLY OPTION. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I GOT THIS ISSUE ONE TIME AT NIGHT AND I GOT THE TOUGH TIME IN TOWING THE CAR AND GETTING TO SERVICE CENTRE. AS THE SERVICE CENTRE IS ALWAYS BUSY THEY WONT GET THE TIME TO DIAGNOSIS IMMEDIATELY AND AT THE TIME OF THEY CHECK IT WORK PROPERLY. ANY WAY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES WITH ME CAR. BUT WHEN I TAKE THE CAR BACK TO HOME THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE OFTEN OCCURS. NO ONE ASSURE OF THE SAFETY, AND I AM TRYING MY BEST TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND HIGHWAYS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
