| Description of the problem | Received a recall notice regarding rear quarter vent window switch. States if exposed to liquid switch may overheat causing burning odor, smoke, or driver's door fire without warning. Tried to schedule appt just to have switch disconnected since parts are not available. The two closest dealers would not take vehicle for two weeks! I think that is unacceptable and dangerous. |
