During initial 3 yr/36,000 miles warranty period the vehicle was in the shop 5 or more times for the iginition problem. It intermittently will not start. The total ignition and keys, clutch switch were replaced, and eventually I thought the problem was corrected when the security module was replaced at around 37,000 miles. In the last 2 days the iginition has failed approximately 20 times, and worked correctly about 10 times. I have not yet taken it to the dealer. I was hoping to find it was a recurrent problem that you had a record on, and I could finally get it resolved. However, I didn't find this in the data base. Also, the backup lights were fixed once under warranty and have failed again. The orignal fix was to replace the switch on the transmision. I am assuming that is the failure again. The bulbs are okay.
