Consumer Description

WE WERE LEAVING FOR A TRIP AND GOT ABOUT 200 FEET FROM OUR FRONT DOOR AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON THEIR OWN, THERE WAS WINDSHIELD FLUID COMING OUT AND THE HORN WAS HONKING. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WE WERE AT A STOP. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT STOPPED. WE STARTED OUR TRIP AND REALIZED THAT THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET NO LONGER WOULD STAY ON AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPERATE WITH THE REMOTE. WE STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO USE THEIR CODE CHECKER AND WE GOT A READ ERROR AND THE CAR NEVER STARTED AGAIN. WE WERE 70 MILES FROM HOME, COST US $300 TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WE HAD THE TIPM REPLACED FOR A MERE $840, THE DOORS STILL DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE REMOTE AND IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT.
