Had taken vehicle at least 3 different times to dealer for non working radio. After 3rd time dashboard started smoking. Could smell rubber & plastic. Went back to dealership. Mechanic indicated would need to rewire & then reground the wires. Had also claimed penny in radio caused electrical short. Due to alarm going off, key could not be used. Vehicle could not be started. Mechanic could not resolve issue of electrical system & indicated it was driver's problem.
