 Description of the problemSeveral weeks ago, random, sudden thuds began to occur on what sounded like the roof of the car; sometimes a single thud, sometimes two or three. This was while the car was in motion; and not with the radio on. It happened daily, until this past weekend, throughout the evening on friday 10/11 and whenever driving on saturday 10/12 and sunday 10/13 (without the radio or cd player on) loud, sudden and prolonged sizzling and crackling/popping sounds would break out in what sounded like the dashboard(?) and doors? My granddaughter was witness to all of this, and we both were frightened by it each time it happened (a total of 20+ times?). I considered not driving the car at all, but have no other means of transportation and live in a somewhat rural area. It obviously is electrical in nature, and is a progession from the thuds that were initially happening several weeks ago. What on earth can be going on this car? Again, it has nothing to do with the sound system, because it all happens when the radio hasn't even been turned on. I'm afraid that a wiring breakage has occurred somewhere and a fire could potentionally break out in the cab!

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
