This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I seem to be experiencing the exact kind of ignition switch malfunction that has been the cause of the massive GM recall this year. The only problem is that the recall doesn't seem to go back to 1997. This problem has occurred numerous times since it first started to happen a week or so ago. The engine and everything electrical just shuts off for no reason. It has happened at highway speeds, at parking lot speeds, driving around town, and even parked at idle. It just up and dies for a second or two, followed by all the warning lights coming on like you had just turned the key back on. Seems to me like the GM ignition switch recall should be expanded to include older vehicles that were apparently affected as well as the ones already on the list.
