ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 2/20/2001. ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 35 MPH. THE IGNITION FUSE BLEW AND THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD. I WAS NOT USING ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME (I.E. RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC). TOWED TO DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE PROBLEM. THEY KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR. A FEW DAYS AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK, THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS WAS ON 2/28. AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALER. AGAIN REPLACED THE FUSE. AGAIN KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND DROVE IT CONTINUALLY WITH NO PROBLEM. I GOT THE CAR BACK ON FRIDAY, 3/9. ON SAT. 3/10, AFTER HAVING DRIVEN 65 MILES AT ABOUT 75 MPH, I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THE FUSE AGAIN BLEW. I HAD A REPLACEMENT FUSE, WHICH I HAD REQUESTED FROM THE DEALER, AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER TODAY, 3/12.*AK
