“I was driving down the road and my knee accidentally hit the key and it fell right out of the ignition switch. I have to fumble around for it on the floor while the car was running and moving. I also have noticed in the last few months that I have to jiggle the ignition switch quite a few times back and forth in order to start the car. This happens alot some weeks and other weeks, just a few times.”

NHTSA complaint #11190344, filed 2019-03, 142,291 miles

“The ignition failed to work. Turning the key to the start position did not turn the engine on. Did not start the starter motor. Also after turning the key to the start position, the key did not recoil back to the on position as it does so customarily. The key just remains in the start position by itself. My vehicle had to be towed to alexander/gmc/cadillac auto center in oxnard, ca. I was told that I am going to be charged close to $600 (parts & labor). Another issue I have is that the drivers airbag light is always on. …”

“The ignition was not turning over properly. The battery light was on. The brake light came on. The traction control system came on. The (ABS) light came on. The check engine light came on. The oil pressure light came on. I drove my car from fresno to yosemite and right in front of the park garage it broke down and I managed to roll it off the road and into a stall. I requested professional advice. The professional said it appeared to him to be a faulty altenator, a failed electrical system, and a battery problem, as well as a problem with the ignition switch. …”

“I was driving to college when the check engine light came on. Upon stopping at a red light, the auto-stop feature kicked in but once I started going, the battery light came on and the entire vehicle started running horribly and the lights dimming. The airbag, traction control, and ABS dash lights all started turning on and then off also. So I now have both check engine and battery lights staying on. I went to my fathers house to use his code reader since the service department at the dealership was closed and I have the following codes: poabb, poafb, p1a47, p1174, and three poa37. …”
