THE WIRING THAT CONTROLS ALL THE ELECTRONICS; AIR BAGS, BATTERY, INSTRUMENTS, ALTERNATOR, AND LIGHTS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES PER HOUR BETWEEN TWO LARGE 18-WHEELED TRUCKS. IT IS JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT THE TRUCK DRIVER IN FRONT PRESSED HIS BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE HE SAW I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CAR WHICH ENABLED ME TO MANUEVER AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I AM PREPARED TO TRAVEL TO WASHINGTON, DC OR DETROIT OR ANYWHERE TO MAKE SURE THAT MY RIGHTS AND THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC IS NOT JEOPARDIZED.*AK
