| During initial 3 yr/36,000 miles warranty period the vehicle was in the shop 5 or more times for the iginition problem. it intermittently will not start. the total ignition and keys, clutch switch were replaced, and eventually i thought the problem was corrected when the security module was replaced at around 37,000 miles. in the last 2 days the iginition has failed approximately 20 times, and worked correctly about 10 times. i have not yet taken it to the dealer. i was hoping to find it was a recurrent problem that you had a record on, and i could finally get it resolved. however, i didn't find this in the data base. also, the backup lights were fixed once under warranty and have failed again. the orignal fix was to replace the switch on the transmision. i am assuming that is the failure again. the bulbs are okay.*ak | |||
