Consumer Description

ON, THURSDAY, JULY 9TH 2005, I TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE, IT STARTED BUT THE IGNITION SEEMED TO KEEP TRYING TO START. NONE OF THE START UP LIGHTS WORKED (OIL, BRAKE, SERVICE ENGINE, SEAT BELT), SO I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND TRIED RESTARTING IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. I KEPT TRYING TO START IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WENT INSIDE. I CAME BACK OUT AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER AND IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING INSIDE. ON MONDAY, JULY 13TH 2005, I TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SOMEWHERE. I'M AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. THE ABS SEEMS TO COME AND GO AS IT PLEASES AS WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT.
