Consumer states: Had 2nd electrical failure on the engine, the wiring harness burnt up. Under warranty the dealer replaced partial wiring of the harness. Also 3 ignition switches put in. Mass airflow sensor, oxygen sensor, and coolant temperature failed. Currently, the vehicle needs two hole wiring harnesses, an original harness and main engine harness.
