The climate control system shuts off and stays off for long periods of time, meaning there is no functioning air conditioning in vehicle. It's been off for almost a week now for me. It's off when it's stationary or in motion. The problem isn't with the air conditioner itself as it'll sometime come on and remain on for a long duration. The volume knob also becomes inoperable. Some drivers of this vehicle weren't able to operate their windows as well when the climate system shut off so I believe it's faulty wiring somewhere. We already know why this is dangerous.

While attempting to charge the parked vehicle in my garage, I plugged in the 110-volt charger that came with the car into the wall before plugging it into the vehicle. It sparked and nearly caused a fire. Upon inspection, it was clear the plug was overheating over time and caused a short in the wiring adjacent to the plug. The oem of the unit was made by clipper creek. I reported this issue to clipper creek as well.
The wiring to the digital screen has shorted out somehow now I have to go spend a lot of money on a 3 year old car with 72,000 miles on it.
