Six months after vehicle was purchased it experienced ignition problems. Vehicle failed to start when the key was turned in the ignition to the on position. Dashboard component lights came on, but the engine failed to turn over. The main computer chip was replaced. Since the replacement of the computer chip the failure occurred 4 times in which the dealership tightened a loose ignition wire, replaced the battery, and serviced a bad connection in the ignition. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for this same issue.
