Consumer Description

STARTING APPROX 3 YEARS AND 30K MILES AGO THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TIGHTLY HOLD THE KEY IN THE CYLINDER. APPROX 2 YEARS AGO THE IGNITION KEY WITH CONNECTED KEY RING FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND ONTO THE VEHICLE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AND ACT NORMALLY. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF WITHOUT USING THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE COLUMN LOCKED. WE NOW DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONLY THE IGNITION KEY AND SMALL KEY RING ATTACHED TO MINIMIZE ANY WEIGHT ON THE KEY. ..UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF UPDATED 06/12/2014 *JS
