AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE THE TECHNICIAN WENT TO PULL THE CAR OUT OF THE BAY AND THE CAR JUST DIED. IT APPEARED FIRST THAT THE BATTERY MAY HAVE DIED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. NEXT AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A MINUTE WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND ALL THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY, REGISTERING AS IF I WAS DRIVING. THEN AS IN THE ANOTHER COMPLAINT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALL THE GAUGES STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND ALL THE NEEDLE INDICATORS STARTED JUMPING AT RANDOM. THE NEXT TIME I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE VEHICLE DID THE VERY SAME THING AS MENTIONED ABOVE (GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY, ETC.). I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIME EACH TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. PRIOR TO THIS EXPERIENCE THE OIL GAUGE HAD STOP REGISTERING AND HAD MALFUNCTION ABOUT ONE YEAR EARLIER. AFTER MY FAVORITE MECHANIC CAME TO RESCUE ME HOT WIRED THE FUSE BOX TO ALLOW FOR ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. HE SAID THAT THE FUSES WERE NOT GETTING THE 12 VOLTS NEED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I'M NOW WAITING ON THE DIAGNOSIS. *TR

WE WERE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY READ 120 MPH. WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOW STUCK AT THAT POSITION, 120 MPH. *TR

HELLO, HOPE YOU CAN HELP MYSELF AND OTHER PERSONS FROM NOT HAPPENING. I CAME HOME FROM WORK SATURDAY, AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS USUAL. AFTER BEING HOME AND WATCHING SOME TV I KNOW FOR SURE WAS 2 IN A HALF HOURS. MY WIFE ASKED OF ME TO GO TO THE GARAGE TO GET SOME ICE CREAM, WE HAVE A FREEZE IN THERE. I WALKED IN THE DOOR AND COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW HOT! IT WAS IN THERE IT WASN'T A HOT DAY AT ALL TO MAKE THE GARAGE SIZZLE. WE HAVE A THERMOMETER GAUGE IN THERE AND BELIEVE ME IT READ 100 . I WAS SHOCKED! I WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET MY WIFE, TO LET HER FEEL THE HEAT, AND TRY TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS THE FREEZER, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING PLUG IN. WE FELT THE FREEZER FROM THE OUTSIDE , IN SOME PLACES IT WAS HOT. I COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT ANY MORE AND OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR. THERE WAS NO SMELL OF ANYTHING THAT COULD BE WRONG. THEN I TOUCH MY ENVOY, AND HOOD OF THE CAR WAS HOT, THEN WE STARTED TO FEEL AROUND THE HEAT FROM THE CAR WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE FREEZER HOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE PART TO KEEP THE HOOD UP WAS TO HOT TO HANDLE. I MANGE NOTHING WAS BURNING NO SMELL JUST HEAT INSIDE AND OUT. I PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF FEAR MY GARAGE GOING UP IN FLAMES, WITH GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLES. I OPEN THE DOOR, AND WOW THE HEAT I HURRIED AND PULLED IT OUT. I LOOKED AT THE GAUGES AND THEY ALL READ NORMAL? I ASKED A FEW FRIENDS AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. WE LEFT THE ENVOY IN THE DRIVE ALL WEEKEND, AND LEFT THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN TO VENT OUT. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE. WE DO HAVE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER PLAN. COULD YOU PLEASE CHECK INTO PROBLEM IT COULD SAFE A LOT OF LIVES. THANK GOD MY WIFE WANTED THAT ORANGE SHERBERT. *TR
