Consumer Description

WITHIN THE LAST 6 MOS. WHEN CAR HIT APPROX. 60000 MILES WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON IT WILL NOT START. EVERYTHING IS DEAD. HOWEVER, POWER IN VEHICLE WILL COME BACK IF THE INTERIOR FRONT HOOD LEVER IS ACTIVATED. POWER WILL COME BACK AND THE RADIO WILL ALWAYS BE ON AM AND THE CLOCK WILL BE AT 12:00. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY. IN OTHER WORDS THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT IT WILL HAPPEN AND/OR MAKE IT HAPPEN.
