While driving black smoke started coming out. Consumer jumped out and checked side panel on driver's door and it was very hot. Consumer took car to dealer for repairs.

Horn sounded for 45" then blew fuse and 1-f-note. Replaced fuse, f-note and both regulators ($125). 2 weeks later, at highway speed, horn started blowing until I pulled over and removed fuse. Dealership indicates wiring problem. Brakes bounce and create loud thumping noise at low speeds, had both rotors replaced and rear drums scraped. Problem still exists daily.

Pcm/tcm replaced twice as well as ignition in conjunction with this problem. Now I am told the instrument cluster panel is in failure as well. Pcm reprogrammed several times prior to replacement a second time. Car has been in internal failure off and on, I never know when it would give out on me. Car at dealership now for the 7th time in 3 months.

Vehicle was taken to dealer for recall# 02v070000 subject: electrical system: ignition switch. After the repair, ignition short circuited,causing a fire in the dashboard.
