A number of years ago, I bought a Chevrolet Caprice station wagon for my wife to drive. NOT a cheap car! A couple of months after she had been driving it, she was in Albany, Ga for a 4th of July symphony concert along with our 3 yr old son. At about the hottest part of the day ( over 100 degrees ), the HVAC quit working. So, she and the boy spent the rest of the day melting! Take it to the dealer to be fixed and it turns out that there is only one ground wire for everything under the dash! Guess which wire broke? A few months after that, she was driving back into town in a heavy rain and the wipers and defrost quit working! Guess which wire broke? The third time it happened, I took the car back to the dealer and convinced him to take the station wagon back in exchange for a different car since this one had been such a lemon. This experience is one reason that we drive Ford cars and trucks now!
