WHILE DRIVING, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL COME ON FROM TIME TO TIME. THE SIGNAL LIGHT INSIDE THE CAR MAY SHOW, BUT NOT INDICATED OUTSIDE. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CABIN LIGHT FLUTTER, DIM AND THEN RETURN TO FULL BRIGHTNESS. THE RADIO MAY STOP WORKING AND " TING, TING" SOUND MAY COME ON WITH THE DASH BOARD PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED MOMENTARILY. THIS CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY THE DEALER AND I HAVE REPORTED ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. SINCE IT OCCURS VERY OFTEN, I HAVE INDICATED THE DATE OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE. THANKS

ONGOING SPORADIC PROBLEM - IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS AND AM UNABLE TO TURN KEY TO START VEHICLE. CALLED DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF WARRANTEE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIX AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS UNLESS THEY PROBLEM HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. SOMETIMES IT TAKES UP TO 20 MINUTES TO GET THE KEY TO TURN.
