There must be similar issues with this electrical defect if the mechanic in the community knows of it.sounds just like the gm ignition problem only feweresl500s than gm cars i would think.

I was driving home from work and my abc light visit workshop light came on.ok, that's fine i'll take it to the shop tomorrow.while on my way home my car suddenly drops in height and a warning sign came on saying "stop driving, car too low."i pulled to the side of the road and noticed that my car had maybe an inch of clearance in the front.this is very dangerous because if it feel any lower i would be dead during rush hour traffic.i drove my car to the shop and left it there and waited for a friend to pick me up.i've read many forums on this problem and it looks like it happens very suddenly and can be a deadly hazard.there should be a recall for this problem.
