What owners wrote
Wiring for turnsignals melts down. There is a wire harness with a connector at the turn front signals, the wire gauge is in adeqaute and causea excessive heat build-up this causes the wires and connectors to the front turn signals to melt down and the turn signals become inoperable. I have replaced these components twice due to thia issue. The resistor pack for air conditioning blower fan speed control melts and catches fire.
As per NHTSA campaign id number: 06v139000 and NHTSA campaign id number: 09v310000 brake lamp switch assembly was replaced. Since replacement (approx. 10,000 miles) brake lights and cruise malfunctioned. This left driver without operable brake lights. Driver was not involved in an accident. However, safety was compromised. Manufacturer refused to replace brake lamp assembly at cost, because the safety recall was already performed once.
