Consumer Description

I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED (DUE TO RECALL) AND AM TOLD THE CAR IS FINE. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT DOESN'T START. TOWING IT BACK TO DEALER, I'M TOLD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BUT AM TOLD THAT IT'S JUST A COINCEDENCE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. EITHER THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T AWARE OF HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OR THE RECALL IS MASKING A LARGER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
