Consumer Description

IGNITION SWITCH HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN PAST 4 YEARS (10/2000 & 8/2003). WHEN IT FAILS, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND/OR STALLS. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM TECHNICIANS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO POOR DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND MFG QUALITY.*AK
