The vehicle abruptly shut down without any warning, causing an immediate loss of power steering and power braking.

Recognizing the progressive nature of high-resistance electrical defects and the severity of the fire hazard, I explicitly requested a physical hardware replacement of the connector harness. The dealership management flatl...
