What owners wrote
The electrical fuse system is defective, causing a fire in the radio panel area. Prior to this fire, had 3 fuses replaced, causing the horn/lighter and radio not to work. *slc
Vehicle has experienced numerous electrical problems since its purchase requiring repairs at my expense. The latest being a short in the wiring harness leading to a failure in the wiring connection to the radiator cooling fans on 2 occasions. Replacement of the fan harness does not fix the problem in the wiring harness and it will short out and burn the connection again. This should be fixed by the manufacturer as a manufacturing defect.
