Consumer Description

I HAD THIS CAR AS A RENTAL. WHILE DOING SOMETHING WITH THE RADIO, I SOMEHOW HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE KEY THEN TURNED TO THE LEFT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF. IN THE SPAN OF A DAY. I DID THIS 3 TIMES. ONCE WAS WHILE MAKING A WIDE TURN ONTO A FREEWAY. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN I HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO RESTART THE CAR. *TR
