Consumer Description

IGNITION KEY CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONING. INSERT KEY TO START CAR, KEY ROTATES 360 DEGREES WITHOUT ENGAGING. TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE KEY TO NOT ROTATE AND ACTUALLY START THE CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE THREADS ON FORUMS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT OCCURS AFTER 100,000 MILES. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $600 - TO $800.
