Takata recal.l all of the above .right rear door lock.key fob.permanent carbon monozide posion.see the complaints on file.
Driving down the road the car quits and cranks but no start. Found fuse box at fuel pump relay melted together. Cleaned terminals and replaced relay drove car 20 miles to have it do it again. Fuse box get hot and it is located under rear passenger seat next to battery. I have read where other people with same year, make and model having the same problem and around the 70,000-80,000 mileage. I feel that it is a safety problem in both accidents and fire.
