| Description of the problem | The ignition switch on this car is in failure mode . All dashboard lights , speedometer flash or or down to zero speed . This only happens momentarily as the lights and speedometer come right back on . It seems that it happens more when the temperature is between 30 to 40 degrees farenheit. I had this car in for service for this problem to bedford chrysler(814-623-1141 in bedford , pennsylvania multiple times . The problem would not recreate itself . Once when driving at highway speeds , it flashed multiple times . I reached for the ignition key and moved it slightly , the problem immediately stopped . I have been following the ignition switch recall but not sure if this is an affected model. Once i noticed this problem , i had my wife try the same thing with the keys , and the problem would go away for her . I do not have exact dates of occurences , but i do know it has happened multiple times . The car never shut itself down with this problem . *js |
