Consumer Description

KEY GETS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION AND I CAN'T REMOVE IT, THE DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES DO NOT WORK AND TRANSMISSION DOESN'T START OFF IN 1ST GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES AND EVERYTIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND THIS IS IN A 3 YEAR PERIOD. THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE WORTH PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. *JB
