THE CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WITH NO PRIOR WARNING SAW FLAMES SHOOTING UP THOUGH THE HOOD AREA. CONSUMER PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY, AND NOTIFIED THE POLICE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.*AK

A DEFECTIVE GENERATOR/ALTERNATOR CAUSED BATTERY TO BLOW UP, RESULTING IN WIRING HARNESS MELTING. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE. ALSO TWO COMPUTERS BLEW UP. *AK

SINCE NOVEMBER OF 1997 I HAVE HAD ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN ONE DEFAULT AFTER ANOTHER. IN NOVEMBER OF 1997 THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN JULY OF 1999, SINCE REPACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION THE WATERPUMP, AND TIMING WERE REPLACED, AND THE RADIATOR WAS REPAIRED. NOW THIS NEW PROBLEM HAS AROSE WITH THE ENGINE. ONE OTHER THING NOT MENTIONED BEFORE IS THE CAR STOPS OR SHUTS OFF WITH NO GAGE INDICATION AT ALL.

ALTERNATOR IS EXCEEDING ITS LIMIT, IS OVERCHARGING, WHICH CAUSES BLOW OUT OF OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONTENTS. *AK
