Consumer Description

I HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 65 TO70 MILES PER HOUR AND HAD GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS TAKING A SIDE STREET DRIVING 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT DEAD. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE WARM-IT WAS A HOT DAY AND I HAD BEEN USING MY AIR CONDITIONING TO THE MAXIMUM. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER 45 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. NOTE! WE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR ON JULY 9, 1999 AT APPROXIMATELY 96000 MILES ON THE CAR. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH A FAULTY IGNITION SYSTEM WHICH HAS DESIGN PROBLEMS.*AK
