Summary:

On certain minivans equipped with adjustable brake pedals, the stop lamp switch wiring harness may be out of position. An improperly positioned stop lamp switch wiring harness could make contact with the u-joint assembly of the steering column. Repeated contact may eventually cause the wiring harness insulation to chafe.

Consequence:

Chafed insulation could cause a short of the wiring harness resulting in the loss of brake lights, engine stalling, or an inability to start the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy:

Dealers will inspect the wiring harness for chafing and repair it if necessary. Also, the dealer will secure the wiring harness to prevent future contact with the u-joint assembly. The recall began on October 9, 2006.

The Lemon Law in California is set up so that the purchaser of a vehicle can seek a refund or replacement of their vehicle so long as the vehicle has:

• Been taken in for service on more than four (4) occasions for a defect that substantially impairs the use or value of the vehicle;

• Been taken in for service onmore than two (2) occasions for a defect that is likely to cause serious injury or death; or

• Been in service for more than thirty (30) cumulative calendar days.

A legal presumption that the vehicle is a lemon it created in case any one of the above requirements is met, and you may be entitled to one of two options, at your choice:

1. A new vehicle, which is similar, or the same to the one you own and a refund for miscellaneous costs associated with the vehicle ;

2. A complete refund, including license, tax, registration, miscellaneous costs associated with the vehicle, and all the payments made on the vehicle.

Both of these are a mileage offset subject , which is calculated according to a set formula we will be happy to explain to you.
