Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT LOST POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WITHIN 5 SECONDS. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. FOLLOWING THIS, THE CONSUMER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, WHO INDICATED THAT THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A BAD IGNITION SWITCH. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *AK *SC *JB
