I've been experiencing an electrical issue. I have lost power to my break lights completely. There was no warning lights or signs at all. I was pulled over and made aware by a police officer that my break light were out. I proceeded to try to replace the light itself which did not work, it only continues to blow the dust when I try. I had a mechanic inspect it and he told me there seems to be a short or possible broken wire somewhere in the wiring harness.

I had turned on my vehicle and the airbag light came on and stayed on. Originally, the airbag light would come on when I started the car in the mornings and then shut off when the car had been driven for a short period. I had an independent mechanic that I have used for 8 years investigate the issue and he suggested I file a complaint, as it is difficult for him to pinpoint the fault for the airbag light. This vehicle has over a dozen recalls on it already that have been fixed over the years. Some other issues have not been addressed ever, except for the same vehicle sold in Canada. Also, I never received compensation for the brake disc replacement that had occurred after 22,000 miles had been on the vehicle. I never had to replace disc at such short time of driving a vehicle. Lastly, the center console is unstable and detached from the rear at the base of the arm rest, which was poorly secured with three 1/4 inch welds.
