Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRETCH OF STRAIGHT ROAD IN WARRENTON, VIRGINIA WHEN I WENT TO PRESS THE BUTTON THAT CHANGES THE DISPLAY NEAR THE ODOMETER FROM "ODOMETER," "TRIP 1" MILES, AND "TRIP 2" MILES. WHEN I REACHED MY HAND BUMPED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF INCLUDING THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED TO COMPLETE STOP DOWN THE ROAD WE WERE DRIVING ON. ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED ALRIGHT SO CONTINUED DRIVING, HAD IT LOOKED AT, AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I BELIEVE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES AFFECT THE 2001 YUKON XL 2500 AND THAT IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. *TR
