Consumer arrived home after driving vehicle all day. Consumer parked and went inside the house. About five minutes later, found out that vehicle was on fire. Firemen stated they could not tell what caused the fire.

The air bag warning light has come on twice before it was repaired. The first time at 14,000miles. This time it is currently with dealer at 20,000.

Would be driving vehicle & applying brakes (abs) & pedal would pulsate. Vehicle would fail to stop. Problem is intermittent. Abs light kept coming on and staying. Would only go off when vehicle is not on. Took to dealership & was informed TSB on vehicle & it was out of warranty, by 5 weeks with only 4163 miles. The vehicle is used to pull boat, and has extremely poor fuel mileage . This vehicle had two brake failures due to bad sensors. The manufacturer installed defective sinsors which are safety hazard but refuses admit.
