Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was trying to start my car and turned the key in the ignition and my car was completely dead. I thought it was the battery and tried to take the key out, but it was stuck and wouldn't come out. I googled how to take it out and that worked, we jumped the car thinking it was the battery, but without the key in the ignition, the lights and electrical allturned on. This tells me that the car's ignitor/shifter was stuck in the on position. It could have been a dangerous situation if I were anywhere but home.”
