Dangerous - needs recalled

I have never posted an online review but this cooktop needs to be recalled. This unit is DANGEROUS! You can turn on one burner and another will turn on with it. Rim separates from the unit allowing water to leak through to the electric. Sometimes burner will not turn off. Have had repaired people out and they have replaced parts but still does the same thing. Wrote to the company with no response. <br />Listen to the other reviewers who have had the same experience and DO NOT BUY!
