“On may 12, 2012 I tried to start my car and it wouldn't turn over. I had it towed to the local mechanic and he replaced the ignition module (part number lx386) on my 1999 Saturn sc2. Then on december 5, 2013, I was driving on the grand central parkway in nyc and my car died. Luckily I was able to safely make my way over to the side of the busy parkway. I was towed to my mechanic and once again I had to pay to replace the ignition module. …”
