Reported on July 07, 2009
| 1. CAR SHUTS OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE IDLING AND WHEN MOVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. 2. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL IN 2002 TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AT THE TIME BUT THE WORK TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DONE IN 2002. CAR BEGAN PROBLEMS EARLY IN 2009 WITH 125,000 MILES AT RANDOM INTERVALS. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED BUT STILL A VERY SCARY INCIDENT. 3. SINCE THE RECALL WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN RELAY AFTER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED NOTHING FOR A TOTAL OF $212. ANOTHER FAILURE OCCURRED THE VERY SAME DAY SO I RETURNED TO DEALER AND GOT THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT A COST OF $146. *TR | |
