What owners wrote
Insured stated that while tow truck was putting the vehicle on the flat bed the vehicle caught on fire and burned the tow truck, the cause of fire was a sjort circuit. Claim number 75-a137-314.
Ignition key jams, will not turn to start engine, and can not be removed when engine is turned off. Frequency of jamming increased until I switched to using the spare "master" key. It worked fine for a while and then the same problem occurred. Finally, I used the "valet key" and it has worked fine for nearly 2 years.
