DT: THE TURN SIGNALS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THEE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE AWARE OF AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION. THE TURN SIGNALS WERE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL. SINCE THEN THERE WAS ONE INCIDENT WHERE THEY DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE CONSUMER FELT THEY DID NOT COMPLETE THE REPAIR. THERE WAS A TSB ON THE ISSUE THAT THE DEALER USED TO CORRECT IT. THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2004, AND WERE THOUGHT TO BE CORRECTED BY THE DEALER. LAST WEEK AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND CAME AND TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE STARTED.
