Consumer Description

UPON REACHING HER DESTINATION MY WIFE REACHED UP TO PUSH THE STOP ENGINE TOGGLE SWITCH AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY COLLAPSED INTO THE INSIDE OF THE DASH PANEL. SINCE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY NEARBY. THEY WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE DASH PANEL AND FOUND THAT THE HOUSING BOX FOR THE SWITCH HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM IT'S DASH MOUNT AND FELL INTO THE DASH. THEY WERE ABLE TO EPOXY IT BACK TOGETHER AND FURTHER SECURED IT WITH A ZIP TIE AS A TEMPORARY FIX.
