Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We have had three separate occasions where the ignition switch locks up and will either fail to accept the key or fail to rotate to start the car. the first two occasions were during the warranty period the third was outside of the warranty period. this ignition failure seems to happen every 12-18 months. although this may not be a safety problem, it clearly is a manufacture defect.*ak
