What owners wrote

My eleven year old son put the right rear passenger side window down. Within 30 seconds of putting the window down, the power window switch and door panel began to smoke. There were large amounts of smoke and a burning smell coming from the door. The door panel became extremely hot causing him to undo his seatbelt and jump across the seat. I immediately pulled over and turned the nitro off killing power to the switch.

I was driving in town, just pulled forward from a stop light. My wipers started running, my entire instrument cluster started flashing. That included, check engine, oil pressure, low voltage, ABS, eps, lost all speedometer reading, RPM reading, fuel level, engine temperature. On the odometer screen it displayed no bus. Now it does it while running, moving, stationary, and not running with the key turned in the on position.
