MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE CAR. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WAS STILL OUT. DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS LATER (POWER STEERING WAS OK AT THAT POINT) AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS PROGRAMMED WITH WRONG CODES AND REPROGRAMMED IT.

I LIKE MANY OTHERS AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KEY FOB/IGNITION ISSUE. I AM 5FT9 AND A HEAVIER GUY. I BOUGHT THIS CARE FOR MY WIFE BUT I DRIVE FROM IT FROM TIME TO TIME.

I DREAD TO THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE OR DEATH THAT ISSUE CAN CAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. IF THE KEY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THIS CAN CAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND DEATH. A KEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ROTATE AS EASY AS IT DOES ON T…
