Consumer Description

FUEL SHUT OFF SWITCH WIRING OR IMPROPER LOCATION. WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN MY VEHICLE THE SWITCH ACTIVATES AND SHUTS OFF FUEL. IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE,SON, BROTHER, AND MYSELF. ON VERY BUSY HIGHWAYS, PARKING LOT ENTRANCE, AND INTERSECTIONS. HAD PART REPLACED ONCE AT QUITE AN EXPENSE STILL HAVE PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN ALONE EVEN OFF ROAD WHEN I WOULD EXPECT AN OCCURRENCE. WIFE AND FRIEND ALMOST GOT REARENDED AT BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED CREATED A SERIOUS TRAFFIC PROBLEM. MY SON WAS IN AREA SHOPPING AND WENT TO ASSIST MOTHER HELD DOWN RED TOP OF INERTIA SWITCH. VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN TILL NEXT INCIDENT WHICH THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL EVEN AFTER REPLACED. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND NOT BE SUSPECTED AS CAUSE BECAUSE OF SWITCHES INTENDED USE.
