WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCK AND THE IGNITION LOCK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED FIVE TIMES BUT THE FAILURE WAS NEVER REMEDIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,165.
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN THE CONSUMER ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MECHANIC CHANGED OUT THE COMPUTER, AND NOW THINKING ALONG THE LINES OF POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *NLM REFER TO ODI# 10021053 (ONLINE) *SCC *JB
