Cutlass

  • miles
Consumer had fuel injector replaced, electrical testing was done on vehicle due to engine check light alert, the next day the vehicle would not start. Vehicle was checked by dealer who determined that battery was not disconnected during testing which caused wires to burn into steering column. Consumer very concerned because horn was not working. Also had an exposed wire in the steering which was a potential shock hazard. Consumer states he is now experiencing other problems related to the electrical problem such as the air conditioning light coming on and the air bag system failed.
