Consumer Description

BATTERY WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT WENT DEAD. LOST POWER STEERING. WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN RUNNING DOWN NEW BATTERY. FOUND FUSE THAT RUNS SIDE MIRRORS AND POWER STEERING TO BE GOOD BUT IS SHOWING THE FUSE BOX TO BE GROUNDING OUT WHEN FUSE IS REMOVED. I HAVE HEARD OF ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS ON THIS CAR. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND ENGINE NOT TURNED ON. IF I LEAVE WINDOWS OPEN, WEATHER DAMAGE IS DONE. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AFRAID IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE GROUNDING OUT. THERE ARE NO RECALLS REFERRING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT GETTING THIS RESOLVED WHEN MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM?
