I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, I SIGNALED TO TURNED RIGHT AND MY VEHICLE WENT DEAD(THE ENGINE STOPPED-NO STEERING OR BRAKES.) FORTUNATELY,NO ONE WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME. I CAME TO A HALT AND TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT ALL THAT HAPPENED WAS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLASH. FINALLY, I TRIED MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL UP AND DOWN AND IT STARTED! SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A LOW MILEAGE CAR OR ANY CAR! I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A DRIVETHRU AT KFC AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEGAN TO SPEED UP AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND DAMAGE THE GAS LINE. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I SAW A RECALL ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS WHILE THE CAR STILL RAN WITH A RED SECURITY LIGHT. IT WAS 8:30AM AND THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS INVOLVED AND I WAS NOT USING THE DRIVETHRU, I WAS JUST DRIVING UP TO THE DOOR TO SEE WHAT TIME THE ESTABLISHMENT OPENED. *TR

ON OR AROUND OCTOBER 2013, I STARTED EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY IN TURN IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND REMOVING KEY. NOW ITS WORSEN WHERE I SPEND ANYWHERE 5 MINS. TO 15 MIN TRYING TO REMOVE THE KEY. ONLY WAY I CAN DO THAT IS BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR MOVING THE GEAR SELECTOR BACK AN FORTH TILL IT DECIDES IT RELEASE THE KEY.I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ANTI-THEFT IN COLUMN THAT WAS LOCKING UP. I'M SCHEDULED TO HAVE A NEW IGNITION INSTALLED AFTER REPLACING THE OLD KEY WITH A NEW KEY. I LIKE TO MAKE SURE THIS IS COVERED BEFORE I SINK ANYMORE MONEY INTO IT. I DEPEND ON THE CAR TO MAKE TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND SUCK I OFTEN AM LATE FOR BECAUSE I"M IN THE PARKING LOT PLAYING SPIN THE WHEEL. THE OTHER FACTOR IS STEERING WHEEL GET EXTREMELY HOT WHEN DRIVING AT TIMES. WHERE I HAVE TO PUT ON GLOVES TO DRIVE. I REPLACED ALL THE LIGHT BULBS IN THE SOCKET LAST YEAR ALL BUT THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL WORKS. THEY TELL ME IT POSSIBLY COULD BE THE MODULE. AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO EXTREME CAR REPAIRS. OR REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COSTS WHICH IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. *TR

THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. ONE OF MY MAIN COMPLAINTS IS THE STEERING WHEEL IS BECOMING VERY WARM TO THE TOUCH. NEXT, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE SWITCH AND WILL NOT COME OUT, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. ALSO, THE SIGNAL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND THE ELECTRICAL WINDOWS HAVE GONE OUT DUE TO RUSTING AND ARE NOT REPAIRABLE. *TR
