Consumer Description

MY IGNITION SWITCH MOVES OUT OF THE "RUN" POSITION, RESULTING IN A PARTIAL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK BUT RUNNING. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED IS 45 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THE KEY, INCLUDING THE FOB. I EVEN EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE TURNING OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED BUT RUNNING. THE DEALER ADMITS TO A RECALL ON ANOTHER MODEL OF PONTIAC DURING THE SAME YEAR.
