| Description of the problem | The car gets this random smell of burning plastic. When this happens theres s crackling sound that comes from the dash board. Also the car randomly doesnt start. The lights and radio will work but the car does nothing when you turn the key this seems to happen mostly after the burning smell. I have replaced the battery, fuses and relay switches and nothing works. I've had it at the mechanic and they haven't been able to find the cause. It's very scary smelling burning plastic and hearing crackling while driving down the road. I'm stuck paying for a car i'm to scared to drive. |
