Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, WHERE I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS SHAKEN AND UNAWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED AS IT HAPPEN EXTREMLY FAST. AS I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT IT WAS SECONDS AFTER THE IMPACT WHICH I THOUGH WAS VERY ODD. WHEN I TREID TO MOVE MY VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I NOTICED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULDN'T TURN. AFTER PLAYING WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. I JUST THOUGHT IS WAS BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. SINCE THEN MY IGNITION SWITCH HAS LOCKED UP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES, MAKING ME CONNECT ALL THE DOTS BACK TO MY ACCIDENT. I BELIVE THIS IGNITION SWITCH CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. *TR
