Consumer Description

OPERATION OF THE TURN SIGNALS CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL AFFECTING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON INTERSTATE C-470 AT 65 MPH WHILE USING THE TURN SIGNAL TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE. THE STEERING WAS ALMOST LOCKED AND THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE LATER, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A BAD IGNITION SWITCH. COST TO REPLACE THIS WAS JUST OVER $400.00. *JB
