| Description of the problem | There seems to be a problem with the ignition switch. The vehicle dashboard instrument panel (speedometer, odometer, fuel, temp gauges) will shut off while driving. Power is also lost to all exterior lights, the ac/heat, and radio. This happens sporadically but can be manipulated by wiggling the key while it is in the ignition and the car is on. When driving at night this is extremely dangerous and has left me stranded on several occasions. |
