Consumer Description

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE ,3 TIMES , 1ST OCCURRENCE IN 2005 CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT START . 2ND OCCURRENCE IN 2008 CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT START. 3RD OCCURRENCE IN 2012 WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND RE-STARTED ONLY TO STALL AT A STOP LIGHT , RE-STARTED AND TOOK TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM , WHICH DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE. TOOK TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SO SAID IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. IN MY OPINION THERE IS A WIRING PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OVERHEAT , THEREBY SHORTING IT OUT OVER TIME. *TR
