Ignition key switch failed not allowing vehicle to start. Car was towed to dealer. Ignition switch was replaced and cost was split between dealer and owner since warranty mileage was exceeded. Dealer was very helpful, courteous and communicated the trouble to my complete understanding. Car was repaired in 1 day.

While driving, the computer malfunctioned. The vehicle failed to start 4 times in the past 8 months and needed to be towed each time. Filed a complaint (ODI id 10004570) for the first time. Then after two trips to the store, and after attempting to restart the vehicle after 10 to 20 mins. Now parts of the computer was replaced; 2 fuel pumps, battery (dealer?S solution, even though battery was fine) flashed the body control module, replaced spark plug harness and several other parts. In an effort to find problem, the ingnition mechanism was replaced for the 4th time. Still uncertain if the problem was fixed, it?S suspected that the ignition switch may have been the defect all along.
