| Description of the problem | I was notified nov 2014 that my ignition switch was defective. I received 3 subsequent notices but could not get the dealership to respond to my requests for service. Finally in feb 2016 the dealership advised that they had the parts and would do the work. Originally we had 3 working ignition keys. After the recall work was complete we only had 1 usable key. When we went back to the dealership with the other 2 keys they charged $109. 95 to program a "manual key" . I was stuck with the bill and a second electronic key that still doesn't work. They said i would have to buy another electronic key (one with panic button, door open/ lock and trunk lock). This replacement would run between $200 - $400. |
