The problem: On an intermittent basis, the engine will either not crank and/or start when the ignition key is turned. This affects cars equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the malfunction indicator light may illuminate on the dash. A diagnostic scan reveals a problem with the range sensor switch or circuit, revealing a problem with either the switch or the wiring of the circuit.
Corrective action: Dealers will either replace the range sensor switch or trace and repair the wiring in this circuit.
Warranty info: This repair is being done for free under the new-car or extended warranty, whichever is applicable.
