THE VEHICLE TENDS TO FAIL ELECTRICALLY WHEN DRIVING. ALL DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES SEEM TO FAIL, LIGHTS GO OUT AND WIPERS STOP FUNCTIONING. I'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT LIGHTS, WIPERS, THE ABILITY TO CHECK MY SPEED DIRECTION ETC. I BELIEVE THERE'S AN OUTSTANDING RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS 14V-567 BUT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER THE NEW PART HASN'T BEEN MADE YET AND ISN'T EXPECTED UNTIL MID-2015. THIS IS DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
