Details

What's wrong: A loss of electrical power through the ignition switch can occur due to excessive current and other factors.

Why it matters: This condition can cause the engine to fail to start, operate erratically, or stall.

The fix: Dealers will replace the ignition switch/circuit breaker and install a relay kit.
