THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,008.

THE DASH, RADIO, & CD PLAYER LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. THIS OCCURS ON RANDOM OCCASIONS, BUT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN WET WEATHER. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN OPERATING THE TURN SIGNAL.

THE SUSPENSION PROBLEM IS THE NOISE OF METAL AND BANGING IN THE SUSPENSION. WE HAD A VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT HAPPEN WHILE ON A
