Consumer Description

IT STARTED WITH A WINDOW NOT GOING UP, THEN THE ELECTRICAL WIRES TO THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGGT BURNED OUT AND MELTED THE BULB CONNECTOR. BULB CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. KEYLESS ENTRY FOBS STOPPED WORKING, BATTERIES WERE CHANGED AND FOBS WERE TESTED BUT THEY STILL DON'T WORK. ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES AND TAKES US STARTING AND MOVING THE CAR 50 FEET TO TURN IT OFF. THE OTHER NIGHT THE CAR HORN WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT RANDOMLY, ABOUT 12 TIMES. NOW THE HORNNIS GOING OFF AS WE DRIVE FOR NO REASON. THIS CAR CKEARLY HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ELECTRICAL PARTS KEEP BURNING OUT CAUSING ME TO CHANGE THEM FOR REINSPECTION TIME BY THE STATE.
