ON JUNE 6 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING TO MY HOME WITH MY FAMILY I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MILES . WHEN I TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT TIGHT AND WHEN I TRY TO STOP I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I ALMOST HAD AN TERRIBLE ACCIDENT MY WIFE IS STILL IN SHOCK. THANK GOD I DID NOT WREAK MY CAR. RITE NOW I CANT DRIVE MY CAR. I AM VERY SCARED. I RECEIVED A RECALL MAIL TO FIX MY IGNITION SWITCH BUT STILL WAITING.I WOULD LIKE MY STEERING AND IGNITION TO BE FIX. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION ON THIS MATTER [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 03JUN14 I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY REPLACED DUE TO THE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE THAT TIME ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE IT "STUTTERED" THIS IS THE BEST WORD I CAN USE TO DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO HAVING THE ABOVE MENTIONED REPLACED. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT STARTS. THE "STUTTERING" DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A DEAD BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR ISSUE AS I HAVE HEARD THOSE SOUNDS BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ABOVE PARTS HAVE RESOLVED ANY RECALL ISSUE AND BELIEVE THAT INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

STEERING WORKS FINE WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND DRIVEN FOR AWHILE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT WILL START BINGING AND "POWER STEERING" WILL SHOW ON DASH JUST BEFORE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED TO INQUIRE ABOUT RECALL. THEY ASKED FOR MY VIN AND INFORMED ME THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR HAD BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED BEFORE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THERE WAS ONLY 3 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THEN WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT THE PART USED FOR THE REPAIR WAS GOING TO BE RECALLED BUT HADN'T BEEN YET. DURING A LATER CONVERSATION WITH MY MOTHER IN-LAW, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THIS SAME DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THERE HAD NEVER BEEN A RECALL ON THIS CAR. *TR
