| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Starter came on while driving vehicle at 40 mph. i parked vehicle and turned off the ignition switch and removed the key, and starter kept running. smoke was coming from under the hood from the battery cables. i disconnected the batteries and the starter stopped. the dealer said the recall for the ignition switch wiring had nothing to do with the starter. i believe there was a short in the ignition wiring that caused the starter to come on. i can not imagine how a starter solenoid could get powered without turning the ignition switch or a short.*ak |
