| Description of the problem | Ignition switch failure. Latest recall includes 2008 called and does not include my vehicle. I thought this nightmare was finally over. Since shortly after purchase has been occurring. Completely loses all power-steering, breaking.. Everything completely shuts down. Has occurred in 80 mph traffic in downtown atlanta, on a railroad track (due to bump) in the middle of a busy interaction, speeding up to make a left turn into traffic etc. Took everything off key and did no good except made me lose my extra key this vehicle is a death trap. I owe 18k+ and can't drive it or i risk my life and the life of my children. Was rear ended twice within a month so i gave up an stopped driving. |
