FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
MY HUSBAND AND I SWITCHED VEHICLES AND HE DROVE MY VEHICLE TO WORK. WHEN HE CAME OUT OF WORK, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED IT A FEW DAYS AGO. NOW, IT IS SLOW TO TURN OVER OR I HAVE TO TURN THE SWITCH 2+ TIMES TO GET IT TO START. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TWO DAYS FROM NOW. LOOKING AT THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER RECORDS (SAME VEHICLE AS ASCENDER), THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. ARE THERE ANY PLANS FOR A RECALL? *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING, MY SPEEDOMETER WILL BECOME STUCK BETWEEN 30 AND 60 MPH. WHEN IT DOES, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL USE THE POINT AT WHICH IT IS STUCK AS ZERO MPH WHEN I AM STOPPED / PARKED. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE MOVING AGAIN, I HAVE TO CALCULATE THE SPEED I AM ACTUALLY GOING. EXAMPLE: IF SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK ON 30 MPH AND I WANT TO DRIVE AT 45 MPH, I HAVE TO ADD 30 + 45 SO WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER IS READING 75 MPH, I HOPE I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING 45 MPH. *NM
