Without warning the body control module shorts out draining the battery and damaging the multi-control switch on the steering column. Causing the headlights, interiorlights, running lights, windshield wipers, factory electric door locks, and dashboard lights to fail. This can cause a fire resulting in a total vehicle loss or loss of lighting at night while driving causing the driver to loose sight of the road. In rain conditions loss of wipers during driving would cause loss of visibility creating a dangerous driver on the road.
The consumer was unable to start the vehicle. The consumer lifted up the hood and noticed that the battery acid was leaking from the battery. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection and the mechanic determined that the battery needed to be replaced.
