Check engine light came on few occasions. Took to the dealer and told it’s just a false alarm no problems. On the night of sept 12th 2024, I’m my way home I lost the ac cooling all of a sudden. I was only 5 mts from home. Once inside my garage I saw to my horror some smoke coming from under yhe hood. Upon opening saw some charred wires and some wire smoldering and smoke was coming out of it. Scared for my family I parked my car outside overnite and called the dealer. They had the car towed away the next day. Got my car back on 6 th of November 2024, with a laundry list of problems and issues, that they had supposedly fixed. Three or four various engine wiring harnesses were replaced, due to charring or melting, probably due to the heat. The engine and transmission were lifted off to fix all the wires and what not. I have all the invoices. And video and pictures of some wires and smoke. They don’t have an explanation for this. The recent recall about ecu maybe suggests the overheating of engine and causing the wires to burn out and some wires started burning almost causing fire if not caught in time. Called Mbusa and they didn’t show any concern. But one week after this incident they issued that ecu engine heating warning. Off course there is no repair for that. This is a fire hazard waiting to happen.
