AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE HAD ISSUE RESOLVED BY RECALL P57 WHERE KEY FOB WOULD STICK IN IGNITION BETWEEN OFF AND ON. THE KEY FIRST GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION ON 8/14/14, A MEMORABLE DAY, BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE DAY WE WERE GOING TO THE TITLE COMPANY TO CLOSE ON OUR FIRST HOME. AT THE SAME TIME THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE STARTED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTIONS ARE DISABLED. THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAGS WORK. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $90 JUST TO HOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO THEIR MACHINES TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS AS RELATED TO THE RECALL P57. NOT BEING ABLE TO HONK IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY IS A PROBLEM. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL SO I GUESS IT WILL TAKE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT TO FIND OUT (AN ACCIDENT WHICH CANNOT BE PREVENTED BY HONKING MY HORN TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER).

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
I WAS TRAVELING ON MONTROSE PARKWAY IN ROCKVILLE, MD. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45MPH. I APPROACHED A SLIGHT BEND TO THE LEFT THAT HAD A SLIGHT DECLINE. I LOST CONTROL ON DEBRIS THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM AN ACCIDENT EARLIER THAT MORNING. I STRUCK AND WENT OVER THE CURB WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I WENT HEAD ON INTO A STEEL LIGHT POST INCASED IN A CONCERT FOOTER. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED VERY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE COLLISION. THIS IS A VERY MAJOR CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT WAY WORSE, BUT I WAS VERY, VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ONLY SUSTAIN BRUISING. THIS VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ABS CONTROLLER FAILED. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT WAS BURNED OUT BY THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH POWERS IT. THE SWITCH IS ALREADY UNDER RECALL.
