Consumer Description

AFTER THE CAR FULLY WARMS UP, ABOUT 25 OR 30 MINUTES THERE IS A BURNING SMELL. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS BUT HAS ADMITTED TO SMELLING IT. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 10-28-99 AND LEFT IT FOR TWO DAYS. DEALER CHECKED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING AND ALSO CHECKED TEMPATURE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THE HEATER BLOWS EXTREMELY HOT AIR. I HAVE ALSO BROUGHT CAR IN NUMEROUS TIMES FOR FAULTY BRAKES AND EACH TIME DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM! .
