: the contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the electrical system shut off, followed by an electrical burning smell. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where it was determined that the stereo amplifier was faulty and had burned.

Consumer complained about electrical problems; the speakers didn't work/windows kept going up and down, and transmission failed. The car was not even a one year old. The replaced transmission still performs poorly. The air bag light came on at least 3-4 times.
