Consumer Description

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN THE RUNNING AND OPERATIONAL POSITION, AKA DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED, BY SIMPLY PULLING IT OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND THE VEHICLE WILL REMAIN RUNNING, AND THEN THERE IS NO WAY TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN FAULTY SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I AM AMAZED NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED, AND EVEN MORE SURPRISED NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE.
