When vehicle was in park steering column caught on fire, and could had caused injuries to consumer. Dealer notified.
I took my sunfire to the dealership for the specified ignition switch recall and am now having problems with my starter. The starter I have is not even one year old - I am sure this has something to do with the recent recall work done at the dealership.
