Car electrical components don't work when car is started then begin working sometime after the car is running 5-15 minutes. Gauges, radio, AC, fan, do not work and I am worried the airbags are also not working. I see many complaints about this issue on the internet (http://repairpal.com/no-start-due-to-failed-passlock-sensor-300). I see the recall for replacing keys but this is the ignition switch that is failing.

Four of their passengers were sent to the hospital in the ambulance and the two of us in the malibu went later. The car was totaled and the church van had significant damage as well.
