Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Battery drains completely after the car sits unused for two or more days, often traced to the hands-free link module staying powered even when the car is off.
- Vehicle fails to start after sitting, sometimes requiring a jump or a battery replacement that does not fix the underlying drain.
- While driving at highway speed, all warning lamps illuminate and the engine stalls, later diagnosed by a dealer as a failed hands-free link causing battery drain and alternator damage.
- Ignition key will not release from the switch while driving, accompanied by door lock failure and stalling.
- A key fob physically wears and folds, letting the weight of an attached keychain rotate the ignition switch to off while driving, cutting power.
- One case reports the engine idling roughly and a burning smell after the vehicle was parked and unattended, with a fire noted in that complaint.
