Consumer Description
RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/ACCELERATION. I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING MY MAX A/C LIGHT TO STAY ON AND SOMETIMES MY RADIO DISPLAY IS DELAYED OF COMING ON. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR, THE DINGING SOUNDS DISTORTED LIKE MY BATTERY IS ABOUT TO DIE AND I HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING THE CAR. I STARTED TO THINK MY BATTERY WAS GOING BAD BUT THEN ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (IN MOTION), MY CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED, BUT I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I HAD TO LIMP MY CAR TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AS I COULD NOT GET ANY GAS POWER. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED JUST FINE. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. I AGAIN HAD TO SHUT IT OFF, RESTART, AND IT WORKED FINE. I HAVE NOT HAD THAT ISSUE SINCE THEN BUT IT IS STILL WORRISOME. LUCKILY I WAS NOT PUT IN DANGER ESPECIALLY SINCE MY 6 YO SON WAS WITH ME. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF THE OUTCOME IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE OR SOMEWHERE WHEN I COULD NOT EASILY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS?
