Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car is a push start button. A few weeks ago, my vehicle would not start so had to have someone check it out only to find out it was the battery in the remote. And the 2nd remote had a dead battery. Fortunately it was in my driveway. What if this had happened when traveling to my hometown in canada and I got stranded in the middle of nowhere. How did this push button start get passed by safety. Am I the only one complaining about this. This is a serious matter. Is there a way I could have a regular key ignition put in to the car?”
