Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE SECURITY LIGHT COMING ON. THEN THE TEMP GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. SPORADICALLY WOULD NOT START. I WAITED 15 MINUTES WITH KEY IN THE ON POSITION, WHEN SECURITY LIGHT WENT OFF, TURN OFF AND BACK ON. MOST TIMES THIS WOULD WORK. HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. ONE DAY MY DASHBOARD, AND DOOR CONTROLS JUST WENT HAY WIRE. CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER AT ALL NOW. KEY EASILY SLIDES OUT OF THE ON POSITION. HAVE ALREADY HAD CAR LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS VERY SIMILAR ISSUE. AT THIS POINT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. *JS
