What owners wrote

Vehicle has electrical problems. Doors would not open and dashboard lights flickered on and off. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on 6/10/2003. Repairs were done to the body control module. On 6/11/2003 vehicle wouldn't start.

Vehicle dash goes crazy service engine light and change oil light will not go off. Many diagnostic tests no popped code nor bad fuses. Now security warning and anti theft turns on my vehicle goes on lock down no AC, windows and doors lock down I can not get out. This has happened two times. Also newest thing is my vehicle shut of in mid drive, good thing I was in my driveway otherwise it could have been very bad accident. This is a on and off thing no warning.
