ON A 55 MPH ROAD WHEN YOU GO TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND ACCELERATE IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT AND MAKE A LOUD THUD LOUD ENOUGH TO MAKE CHANGE RATTLE AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE ALMOST LOCKS UP FOR A MINUTE YOU COULD LOOSE CONTROL WHILE TURNING BUT THAT'S JUST HOW IT STARTED NOW WHEN YOUR GOING DOWN A 55 MPH BACKROAD AND GO UP A HILL AND THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS IT DOES IT TOO MY CAR ONLY HAS 102,000 ON IT

CAR WILL BE DRIVEING 55 AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. LOSSING EVERYTHING INCLUDING POWERSTEARING. HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL N COAST TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, SOMETIMES WILL RESTART, OTHERS IT WONT. ALSO WILL START BUCKING AND SHUT OFF. I CAN BE DOING 10MPH N GO TO TURN A CORNER N IT SHUTS OFF. CAN SEEM TO RUN FINE, BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULDNT RESTAR GOOD THING I CAN DRIVE AND KNEW WHAT TO DO OR I WOULD HAVE CRASHED NUMEROUS TIMES.

PULLED IN DROP OFF A DONATION AT A SECOND HAND STORE. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE; OPENED THE TRUNK; AND LOOKED UP STARTLED WHEN A GUY SITTING NEARBY SAID THAT MY CAR WAS SMOKING AND ON FIRE (ABOUT 10 SECONDS SINCE I SWITCHED THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT). HE WAS ON THE RIGHT, SO I MOVED AROUND THE CAR TO THE RIGHT LOOKING TOWARDS THE ENGINE. AN EMPLOYEE OF THE STORE THAT WAS ON THE BACK, LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR POINTED TOWARDS AND SAID, 'LOOK! YOUR SIDE MIRROR IS ON FIRE!' I THEN SAW THE SMOKE BILLOWING TO THE LEFT (A STRONG AFTERNOON BREEZE WAS BLOWING NORTH). I CAME AROUND AND PEERED IN BEHIND THE ACTUAL 'MIRROR' PART; THE FIRE HAD JUST GONE OUT. LOOKING AT IT, I COULD SEE IT WAS THE SECURITY LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE MIRROR; IT WAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND FUSED TO THE MIRROR HOUSING- A BUBBLY MESS OF PLASTIC. IT SMELLED OF ACRID, MELTED PLASTIC AND BURNED ELECTRONICS. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MIRROR HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND STARTED BURNING FOR A BIT BEFORE THE FUSE FINALLY BLEW. I AM SO GLAD MY BABY AND KINDERGARTENER WEREN'T IN THE CAR AT THIS TIME! THEY USUALLY ARE. THE LENGTH OF TIME OF TIME IT TOOK FOR THE FUSE TO FINALLY BLOW IS QUITE ALARMING! IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE RAPID SPREAD OF A FIRE THAT WOULD QUICKLY OVERTAKE THE VEHICLE. WHAT IF I WAS AT A GAS STATION WHEN THIS HAPPENED WHEN THEIR HAPPENED TO BE SOME PETROL-VAPOR PRESENT. MY NEXT STOP WAS TO GET TWO PROPANE TANKS FILLED. THEY HAVE TO BLEED OFF A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PROPANE EACH TIME WHEN FINISHED FILLING A TANK. IT ISN'T FAR FETCHED THAT THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH FAILED SAFEGUARDS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FAR MORE INJURY THAN MY SLIGHTLY BURNED FINGERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. THIS IS A FANTASTIC CAR! WE LOVE IT. THIS IS PROBABLY AN EASY FIX, BUT IF IT ISN'T FIXED, MUCH WORSE COULD HAPPEN!
