Consumer Description

THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT TURN BACK TO "MOTOR" POSITION AFTER ENGAGING THE STARTER. THE INTERNAL SPRING (FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH), IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. ANYTIME I START THE CAR I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO ROTATE THE KEY IN THE MOTOR POSITION; IF I DO NOT DO THIS, THE STARTER REMAINS ENGAGED AFTER THE ENGINE IS ON.I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER (AUDI/PORSCHE IN MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS OH 44130) TO REPLACE THE SWITCH AS A RECALL, BUT I AS TOLD THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR CARS OLDER THAN 1996. *AK
