Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE. WHEN MY SISTER BOUGHT IT. SHE WOULD HAVE TROUBLE WITH IT STARTING UP. SHE WOULD HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY START UP. IM NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE IGNITION SWITCH. BUT THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS GETS EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU DO THIS? I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. *TR
