Consumer Description

THE ENGINE CUTS WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND PUSH MY START/STOP BUTTON BUT THE RADIO STAYS ON AFTER. I TRY OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO TURN MY CAR OFF FULLY BY SWITCHING GEAR AND TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED DAILY FOR ME. I NOTICED THAT THIS MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT'S VERY UNSAFE. IT CAN CAUSE BATTERY DRAINAGE AND CAN LEAD TO OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES.
