| Description of the problem | Blown main engine fuse due to this failure it shuts off all engine and it does not operate at all. While driving, engine shuts off and won't start. After it went to the dealer for so many days without calling us to inform of what's going on, they have figured that it has a blown fuse and they ( dealer mechanics ) blame me to the fact that i might be using a lot of electical activities in the van such as playing video game while driving and might have caused the electrical blow out. Then 2 months later... Same thing happened i was on my way to work and it did the same thing. Now that the car is at the dealer, god knows what they will come up with, to have such an excuse. *ak |
