problem #1

Nov 012014

Monte Carlo 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 210,000 miles

ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS YEAR'S IGNITION SWITCHES WERE ALWAYS GETTING LOCKED UP OR INTERNAL PARTS WEAR DOWN SO KEY DOESN'T MOVE THE DOGS ENOUGH TO UNLOCK. I WANT TO REPLACE IT MYSELF, NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH CAR THEN GOT STRANDED AT THE BEACH 3 DAYS AGO. ABOUT 67 MILES FROM NEAREST TOWN. WHAT A PAIN IN THE @!@#$%^%^^.

Thanks Jerold Bryant
