Description of the problem | The ignition switch has had to be replaced 5 times on my car. I'm a single mom and on limited income and have had to go without car months at a time. I have to have the switch replaced for around $150 each time plus towing. I have not kept the old parts because i did not know i needed to. On this same car the timing belt has gone out twice since i have owned it, for three years now. Is this due to the car or is there something wrong when repaired? |
