Vehicle was parked under the carport when the consumer heard a noise. Consumer went to see what was going on, and discovered the vehicle on fire the vehicle was totaled.
While turning the turn signal failed to come on. The interior and exterior lights came on and off intermittently. Consumer drove vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that wiring harness needed to be replaced.
Suspension clips that hold the wires to the cruise control, airbag, and horn gave way resulting in malfunctioning cruise control. That then destroyed the clock spring in the cruise control. The service technician also noted that 'we were lucky the airbag didn't go off since the wires to that were also included in the bundle of wires held by those clips". as a result, the wires dangled down near the brake pedal and were eventually worn through.
Vehicle wouldn't shift out of gear. Dealer provided the consumer with a new wiring harness. Brake lights don't work, and vehicle still won't shift out of gear.
