Consumer Description

MY CAR BEGAN BY RUNNING WITH THE IGNITION KEY BEING ABLE TO BE PULLED OUT WHILE RUNNING. I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO START OR NOT. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED U WOULD BE STRANDED AND LOSE POWER BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WOULD LOCK UP. I ALSO HAD THE EXPENSE OF A NEW KEY AND MANY TOWS THE CYLINDER SWICH AND HOUSING WERE A HUGE EXPENSE AROUND 500.00 WITH THE LABOR AND TOW. *JS
