Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND CALL A TOW SERVICE. I HAD TO HAVE SOME FUSES REPLACED AND THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY. I WAS DRIVING IT FIVE DAYS LATER AND IT DID THE SAME THING. LUCKILY I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY THIS TIME. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND GET IT HOME. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE HAD MY 3 KIDS AND GIRLFRIEND IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MULTIPLE PERSONS ARE HAVING THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES. BEST I CAN GATHER IS IT IS A IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BUT I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT AND PUT ANOTHER FAMILY IN DANGER.
