There was smoke coming from the front of the contact's vehicle. A police report was available. The contact was removed from the vehicle with the assistance of the fire department.
I had to replace the brakes on my car almost every 1 year and a half because you could here something wrong with the brakes like they are metal to metal. Also have in side dome light problems the light will not come on when the doors are open the switch works when the doors are closed and on all the time. Clock has a short comes on for 10 minutes then goes out for months then maybe come on the off for months.
