Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Underhood fires reported shortly after parking or while idling with the engine running, in some cases destroying the vehicle.
  • Burning odors, including smells described as burning tire or skunk, coming from the heater or A/C vents, sometimes with visible smoke.
  • Blower motor failure that knocks out the defroster or front vents, which owners attribute to an overheating wiring harness and resistor.
  • Rear liftgate that intermittently will not open, tied to a failed latch and a key fob that does not work as backup, with no manual override.
  • Air conditioner use causing the engine to labor with low, hesitating RPM and reduced fan speed at idle.
  • Horn failure reported as not working at all, whether the vehicle is moving or stopped.
