Consumer Description

THE IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN'T GET THE KEY IN. THIS HAPPENED IN 2001 AND NOW THIS MONTH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRATY. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSIP AND THEY SAY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I WANTED SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE ALSO FOUND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. WHEN THEY FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME IT MUST HAVE BEEN WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURE PART BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TWICE IS JUST STRANGE.*AK
