TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN EQUIPPED WITH UNIROYAL TIRES, SIZE: 225/65R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING, THE TIRE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING JULY 2014 WHEN IT WAS PARKED UNDER A TREE DURING A BAD STORM. IT EVENTUALLY WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE AFTER THEY ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REPAIRED. SEVERAL TIMES THEY REPAIRED IT AND PUT ME BACK INTO THE DANGEROUS VEHICLE WHICH WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND SEVERAL TIMES WOULD NOT BRAKE. I INSISTED THEY DECLARE IT A TOTAL LOSS BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE WOULD HAPPEN. THEY FINALLY AGREED IN OCTOBER 2014. HOWEVER, MY CONCERN IS THAT I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD AT AUCTION AND THAT PUTS SOMEONE ELSE IN DANGER. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT OF BEEN HANDED OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD BEEN LAUGHING WITH THE PEOPLE OF THIS SCHOOL BUS COMPANY WHICH IS CLOSE BY TO ME NAMED LORINDA BUS OR LOGAN BUS CO INC THERE AT 100 ST AND ATLANTIC AV THERE ABOUT HOW THEY EXTENDED THEIR PARKING LOT UPWARD THERE ONTO AN OLD LIRR TRACK THERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED AND IS ALL RUSTY WITH BROKEN CEMENT AND LIKE OTHER BROKEN AND OLD THINGS THERE AND THEY EXTENDED THE PARKING LOT FOR THEIR BUSES THERE AT 100 ST AND ATLANTIC AV THERE UPWARD TO LIKE THE TOP OF THIS LIRR TRACK THERE WHICH I FOUND TO BE AN ODD LOCATION. I MEAN SOME QUESTIONS WERE IN MY MIND LIKE COULD THE 14 BUSES OR 18 BUSES THAT THEY PUT UP THERE ON THE OLD LIRR TRACK THERE STAY UP THERE WITH ALL OF THE HUGE BUSES PARKED UP THERE ON THE TRACK THERE. NO, THE LIRR TRACK THERE IS NOT USED ANYMORE THERE BEGINNING SOUTH FROM LIKE 99 ST AND LIBERTY AVENUE THERE AND THE OLD LIRR TRACK IS MAINTAINED BY NYC DCAS OR THE MAYOR'S OFFICE THERE. LOTS OF RUSTY AND OLD AND FALLING APART THINGS THERE ON THAT RAILROAD TRACK THERE OF THE LIRR THERE. BUT WITH THE OLD LIRR TRACK THERE AT ATLANTIC AV AND 100 ST SHOULD THEY USE THAT AREA UP THERE, AS I SAW ON A GOOGLE MAP THERE TO PARK 14-18 OF THEIR BUSES. YES, THE GOOGLE MAP SHOWED THEM EXTENDING THEIR PARKING LOT TO THE TOP OF THE LIRR TRACKS THERE AND THEY COULD PARK MORE BUSES AS SHOWN ON THE GOOGLE MAP THERE. DO YOU THINK IT IS SAFE OF LORINDA OR LOGAN THERE TO PUT LIKE THOSE BUSES PARKED UP THERE ALL 14-18 OF THEM UP THERE ON THE OLD LIRR TRACK UP THERE TO BE PARKED OR NO? THE OLD LIRR TRACKS ARE REALLY FALLING APART, TALKING ABOUT THE RUST AND ALL OF THAT. USE GOOGLE STREET VIEW AND YOU CAN SEE THE RUST IN SOME PARTS OF THOSE BRIDGES THERE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER LIGHTS TURN ON, ALL DIAL INDICATORS GO TO 0, WIPERS TURN TWICE, OUTSIDE LIGHTS TURN ON AND THEN OFF, AND WARNING BEEPS INSIDE. CAN REPEAT DIFFERENT FREQUENCY TIME, BUT USUALLY EVERY FEW SECONDS. SOME WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN ON, ESPECIALLY BRAKE WARNINGS AND AIRBAG. 2 DEALERS REVIEWED AND RECOGNIZED ISSUE BUT STATED DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. RARELY, AFTER START-UP ONLY BRAKE LIGHT AND AIRBAG WARNINGS STAY ON AND NO OTHER LIGHT ISSUE. FIRST DEALER REPLACED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IMPROVED BY NO LEFT DIAL ISSUE, BUT WARNING LIGHTS STILL OCCUR. ALL WARNING LIGHTS, CENTER DIAL, AND RIGHT DIAL, LIGHTS, AND WIPER ISSUES STILL OCCUR. DEALER CHECKED AND NOTED PROGRAMMING ISSUE BUT INFORMED NOTHING CAN DO. NOW OCCURS MORE OFTEN. ALL BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS NOW ALWAYS SHOW AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE. THEN ALL OTHER WARNING LIGHTS, AND SO ON, BEGIN AS NOTED. RECORDED AND ATTACHED. FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED. IF I TURN OUTSIDE LIGHTS ON, LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN ISSUE OCCURS BUT TURN SIGNAL STILL STOPS WHEN I HAVE THEM ON. OTHER DRIVERS THEN DO NOT KNOW IF I AM TURNING. AIRBAG, BRAKE, FUEL LIGHTS, WIPERS, AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS WORRY ME SINCE EVERYTHING SHOWS WARNING OR STOPS WHILE DRIVING, AS FREQUENT AS EVERY FEW SECONDS DURING ENTIRE DRIVE. IS ONE OF THE ISSUES REAL OR ARE THEY ALL PRETEND DUE TO THE VEHICLE ISSUE? OCCURS ALL SPEEDS, TEMPERATURES, AND SO ON.
