Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND PARKED MY CAR AND TOOK HER INSIDE LIKE I ALWAYS DO. WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE AND UNLOCKED MY CAR (WITH THE KEY) MY KEY WOULD NOT GO IN THE IGNITION - LEAVING ME STUCK AND LATE FOR WORK AND HAVING TO USE MY AAA TOWING BECAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP - THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL***I HAVE SEEN MANNNYYYYYY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE EVEN MY TOW TRUCK GUY STATED THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND (KNOWN) FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND NOW WILL COST ME 450.00 TO FIX. A IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT NORMAL WARE AND TARE - ITS NOT LIKE TIRES OR TIMING BELT OR ANY OF THOSE THINGS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED - THIS IS COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR CONSUMERS - THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE A PROBLEM IF SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY CANT EVEN GET THE KEY IN THERE IGNITION - LAWSUITS WILL HAPPEN IF A RECALL IS NOT MADE. *TR
