: the contact stated while driving at 60 mph the ignition switch shorted out and caused the vehicle to lose power and stall. The vehicle restarted but stalled again later. The vehicle was difficult to start. It was taken to a local dealership, and they suggested the ignition switch be replaced. The vehicle currently operates normally. Updated 03/09/06.
