Description of the problem | Owner vehicle electrical issue car will start and after 10 of 15 minutes of use will not re-start . Also , if i do not use the vehicle for a couple of days , the car appears to have no electrical power , i have to manually open the car door w/key, no dash lights and will not start .. When i took the car to have the battery tested . It was low but still good.. If i boost it. It starts right up unless i've been using it a while then it will not start until after it's been sitting a couple of hours . I replaced the starter relay fuse. But it's still doing the same thing . I also saw smoke and smelled something like wires burning from the direction of the alternator ? Other unexplained and /or possibly related occurrences driver side window will roll down about 1 inch for not reason .. Dash instrument panel lit up and all indicators as well .. I don't have time to fool with it right now. So i have a car i can't trust to drive me anywhere . Please help . I've been reading a lot about this vehicle trying to figure out what's the problem and noticed 2011 models have a recall on the alternator causing similar problems ? This all started happening right after i had taken it in for a air bag recall .. Not sure if that's the problem , could be a coincidences |
