| Description of the problem | Dangerous to drive dangerous to park in garage. Day 1: wipers, horn went on at 55 mph. After 5 miles it stopped. Next day everything was dead. Battery replaced. Next day, horn/wipers go on when engine is started. Eventually stopped. Mechanic pulled horn fuse. Day 3 : early am opened door, windshield wipers go on and stay on. I start car (big mistake), now i can not put car in gear, can not turn off engine or wipers. I just let it run, very dangerous in an attached garage, i was afraid to open hood or attempt to disconnect battery in a running car, eventually engine shut itself off, later wipers went off. I fear gassing my family or burning us down if it starts in the night. What more will happen if i drive it ? A few years ago, on highway, warning lights came on and engine stopped and vehicle was totally inoperable towed to dodge, they replaced a computer module (warranty). Now i read it may be a very costly computer module again and that i am in danger. |
