| Description of the problem | I am attempting to leave office depot parking lot and my car will not start (no problem prior to going into the store!) i put the key in the ignition the lights, radio, dashboard all come on and i hear a clicking sound. However, the power windows don't work, nor the sunroof. After researching most of the night (couldn't rest) and most of the day, it appears to be the electronic ignition switch (eis) which is very costly! And there are tens of thousands of complaints over the span of years!!! The nightmare stories (i had deja vu... Exactly the same issue!) defiantly enough complaints about this issue that your organization should open an investigation. A demand for a recall is needed asap!!! Price of replacement/repair could be from $1,100 to $2,200.... Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
