Wait about 10 -15 min and the car would start again and
drive fine for a while.
Every car had over 100k on it plus being in Az its still
pretty warm here which made things worse.
All 4 cars had a faulty ignition switch.
First pic is of the NEW part from the dealer $50
I'm experiencing the same issue now, but it's got 1 more symptom...

Car will only start with a jump, even though the battery is new and voltage is good. When I turn to "on" everything goes dead immediately (interior lights, radio, etc). As soon as I move back to "acc" the lights begin to flicker back to life. If I hook up to another car and jump it, starts right up.

So, could the same part be at fault?
