Consumer Description

ALL OF MY DASH GAUGES GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THERE WILL BE A BEEP AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL THE REST DO NOT REGISTER. THE CK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON AND THE FUEL LIGHT. THE POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT GO DOWN, THE AC WILL NOT WORK, RADIO, AND NOW HEAD LIGHTS ARE BEING AFFECTED AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I HAVE BEEN TERRIFIED !! I WORKED AND SAVED TO GET A NEW IGNITION SWITCH INSTALLED HOPING SINCE IT POWERS SO MANY PLACES AT ONCE THAT IT WOULD WORK, BUT AFTER $174.40 AND A WEEK WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION I PICKED MY CAR UP TODAY AND AFTER DRIVING IT ABOUT 15 MILES IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. NOW I AM READING THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND FINDING YOUR SITE GIVES ME HOPE THAT MAYBE I WILL GET SOME MUCH NEEDED HELP. THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE TO ME IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
