Most Recent Complaints
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ATS IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY, VERY HOT AND IS DISCOLORING THE PAPER SHEET THAT IS NEAR IT BECAUSE OF THIS HEAT. I NOTICED THIS FINALLY AFTER READING ONLINE ABOUT MANY, MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME EVEN HAD FIRES START. MOSTLY THE ATS BURNED UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN GOOD ABOUT IT AND IS REPLACING THEM IF THEY ARE FAULTY.
