Consumer Description

OUR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE HORN BEGAN HONKING ON IT'S OWN, THE VEHICLE STARTED, THE ALTERNATOR MADE THE BELT BURN, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. ALL OF THIS WAS HAPPENING WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED. WHEN WE TRIED TO PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP MAKING THE NOISES OR SHUT OFF.
