Consumer Description

THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS FAILED ON MY GTO 2 TIMES NOW. THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 4 OR 5 THOUSAND MILES AGO IT WOULD NOT TURN EASILY, OR AT ALL. NOW THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OFF. THE RETAINED ACCESSORIES STAY ON, AND THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK IS INOPERATIVE. MY LOCAL DEALER IS REPAIRING MY VEHICLE FOR ME. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. A FEW REQUIRING 3-4 REPAIRS. MY CONCERN IS THAT WITH THE COLUMN LOCK NOT WORKING WHEN PARKED ON A HILL THERE IS NO WAY OF LOCKING THE WHEEL IN A TURN TO KEEP IT FROM WANDERING AWAY. ALSO IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY EVAC ( HURRICANES IN FLORIDA) THE VEHICLE MAY NOT START. *TR
