Consumer Description

IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1997 I RESPONDED TO NHTSA RECALL 96V071000. THE DEALER IN PUYALLUP, WA REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. HOWEVER, EVERY SINCE THEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS DOWN BELOW 40 DEGREES THE IGNITION SWITCH SEEMS TO FREEZE UP. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE FALL OR WINTER. I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START THE TRUCK. THE SWITCH BECOMES VERY STIFF UNLESS I FIRST WARM THE STEERING COLUMN WITH A SPACE HEATER OR BLOW DRYER. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL BREAK THE SWITCH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE TRUCK. *AK
