What owners wrote
At 12,270 miles we had no brake lights taken to the dealer and he replaced the turn signal and said that was the problem. That was in june. On july 6, 2001 the dash board lights flashed several times lighting all of the guages showing that the engine was not running, but it was still running. Engine light stayed on. Took the vehicle to the dealer who found multiple trans dtc's internal failure replace ignition switch and performed relearn.
The dash lights were on as if car was not running but car was running. All gauges would not work. This was intermittent. The key could not be removed from the ignition during one of these instances. Dealer replaced ignition switch.
