How this record should affect your next decision

Because the submitted record includes a crash, fire, or towing flag, treat similar current symptoms conservatively. Stop using an unsafe vehicle and contact a qualified repair shop, dealer, or tow provider. The complaint alone does not identify the needed repair.
