Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN LIMOUSINE, ARMORED AND HEARSE MODEL VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE LABEL.
Risk. INCORRECT TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE CAN DAMAGE TIRES, AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING, AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH CORRECT LABELS.
PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO WITH THE WIPERS TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES IN THE OFF POSITION FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE BARE AND WEATHER WAS AT 11 DEGREES CELSIUS. THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOT REPAIRED AS THE DIAGNOSTICS FAILED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS AGO, UPON TURNING ON THE IGNITION THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES IN THE OFF POSITION AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM WAS ALSO NOT CORRECTED AS THE MECHANICS COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM WITH DIAGNOSTICS. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF AGAIN. ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS DID WITNESS THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AS HE COULD NOT SHUT OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AS WELL UNTIL AFTER HE WAS FIDDLING AROUND WITH THE SWITCH. ONLY THEN WOULD THEY SHUT OFF. IN THE PAST, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THIS CAR AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DETECT WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING, I NOW BELIEVE IT MUST HAVE TRAVELED INTO THE ENGINE/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS. (NOTE: THERE WAS NO OIL DRIPPING ON THE GROUND). *JB
1 of 1 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
