Consumer Description

AN INETRA-ACTUATED SWITCH, LOCATED ON THE RIGHT INSIDE WALL OF THE TRUNK CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO QUIT IF AN UNSECURED LOAD STRIKES IT. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN A CITY-OWNED CAR WHILE DESCENDING A STEEP HILL IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE. HAD I BEEN MORE SLIGHTLY-BUILT, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL OR STOP THE CAR, WHICH I DID WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY.
