Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Key will not turn in the switch , replaced switch one time, the next time i had to have the keys reprogrammed one time and now my pos is sitting across town will not crank because the key will not turn. if i sit in the car and bang around on the key while in the ignition for 3 or 4 hours i might accidentally get the car to crank. now once the vehicle ( i don't know why i call it a vehicle its more like nightmare ) does get started up and as long as i leave the key in the ignition switch it will re-start. this has been an on going problem for 4 years. *nm
