Consumer Description

I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE IGNITION RECALL. FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, AT RANDOM TIMES, IF I TOUCHED THE KEYS WHICH WERE IN THE IGNITION, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE OVERHEAD DOME LIGHT WOULD EITHER FLICKER OR ACTUALLY GO ON FOR SEVERAL SECONDS TO A MINUTE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF PULLING THEM SO THAT THEY ARE NOT SOLIDLY INSERTED, BUT DUE TO BEING JOSTLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, OR NOT RUNNING, AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN I INSERT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS, IN ITSELF, IS A PROBLEM UNLESS IT IS AN INDICATION THAT THIS MAY PROGRESS INTO A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
