Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN APRIL 2000. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SIX TIMES TO GET THE REPAIR COMPLETE. AT THIS TIME THE LIGHT IS OFF. THE LAST REPAIR WAS MADE ON OCT. 9, 2000. THE DEALERS KEEPS REPLACING THE SAME PART. I THINK THAT IT IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CAUSES A POWER SURGE THAT THEN DAMAGES THE TPS MODULE.
