I got in the vehicle 3 weeks ago and the engine was completely dead. I did get it jump started and managed to drive to the auto store where I had the vehicle's battery, which I got new 6 months ago from Costco, recharged for free. After that the vehicle was fine...up until this morning (3 weeks later) when the vehicle's engine was dead. After a jump start I managed to get the vehicle back to the store where they checked the battery and alternator. I was told that the alternator was perfectly okay, and the battery was somewhat low but still okay, which was what I was told 3 weeks prior. They added that there must be a wiring problem that is causing the battery to lose its power. I may be okay for a few more weeks, but Lord forbid I not use the vehicle for a day, and that piece of crap will die on me again! Steven King's 'Christine' was more accommodating!!!

The design of the rear fuse panel is poor. It will be a major issue for the average car owner to repair. I will be showing the defective part to local dealership in hopes of the issue being addressed at the highest level. I know that this particular year (2006) has encountered the most problems. A simple "google" of the issue tells me that I am not the only individual experiencing this issue. However, I do not believe what I have found has been documented. Otherwise, I suspect there would be either a recall, or fix for the owners experiencing no start conditions.
