Consumer Description

IT WILL NOT LET ME TYPE IN THE AFFECTED PART. IT WAS THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND THE IGNITION WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED AND REPLACED AND COULD BE TURNED, BUT IT WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN.. I HAD TO CALL AAA TO HAVE THEM COME TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE, (I HAD TO GO ONLINE TO FIND OUT WHERE THE BATTERY WAS LOCATED) (BECAUSE EVEN MY AAA DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT WAS. WE THEN HAD AAA TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LAUREL, MD AND THEY SAID THAT THE IGNITION HAD FALLEN APART. THEY PUT ANOTHER IGNITION IN, HOWEVER, I WONDER IF IT IS OUT OF THE SAME BATCH THAT IS CAUSING PROBLEMS NOW. THEY ALSO DID SOMETHING TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AT THE SAME TIME. *JS
