Well we have a sixth gen in the family arsenal and I was driving it back from the food store when I was on a main road giving the car gas and it shutoff completely all the lights came on after about 20 seconds when I pulled into a turn lane. I turned the key back and removed it waited a second started it and the car came on but once again before I could pull out it cut off, the instrument panel went dark once again and all the lights came on. The third attempt made it home with no problems but I was just wondering if anyone had a similar problem and knew the steps to take to fix it.

 

Well if we knew WHAT YEAR someone could check for ignition switch recall info.

 

Sorry bout that, it's a 1999 LX 4dr 4cyl

 

ignition switch recall done? owner link will tell you if it has been performed.

loose ground strap?

 

Checked and made sure the groundstrap was tight when the problem occured before I'll check it agin and see if that recall was taken care of thanx for the help.

 

My experience with OwnerLink is that site didn't know about the recalls. Call a dealer. Any dealer can look up recall status with your VIN.

 

Okay thanx.
