Description of the problem | Vehicle was parked... Went to start vehicle... Bright light indicator was on dashboard, unable to move vehicle out of park unless manually done, when vehicle starts all indicators on instrument panel comes on, notices under the computer output on instrument panel indicates a host of problems, so basically the computer has failed to some nature causing errors to show. Hazards don't work, brake and turn signals don't work, but the vehicle will start at least until the battery is dead from the lights on the instrument panel run it out. Had this covered under warranty twice this is the third occurrence without determination of problem. Vehicle has to be towed to dealership for repair... I believe resetting the computer is the only option because diagnostics run do not indicate a known problem. My belief is that after 3 occurrences of this the common denominator is a strong electrical storm occurring prior to the computer failing. The vehicle has not been hit by lightning, but, there has been heavy strikes around or near the vehicle that upset the computer... Jury is still out on my theory, but this is what i have observed. |
