Except that if all is working properly, there is no danger. Even though the fuel is cut off, the engine is still turning and power brakes, steering, and all accessories work just fine. The computers will turn the fuel back on once the engine RPMs or vehicle's speed drop to a certain level. I think most cars have done this for years, and it works so well that no one notices or cares.

 

I got my new ignition on friday. Took 4 hrs b/c they got the ignition but it was the wrong one so they had to go get the right one. They spit shined it afterwards so I forgave them. LOL I started my car and grabbed my house key and pulled and could not shut my car off! I pulled hard and still couldn't do it. I bet it never shuts off again with a major pothole. I still haven't heard from the NHTSA about my complaint. Iam satisfied that my problem is solved! Thanks again Pitbull76!

 

Glad to hear that the new lock cylinder is better, and I'm sure it will fix mine too. I am still waiting for them to get mine in stock, and I too reported it to the NHTSA. I don't know if they will contact us unless they see a few more reports of this issue. Right now I have no other keys on the keychain to minimize any chance that it could be bumped into the off position.

 

Its a good idea to lighten the keychain with this problem. Good job filing a complaint. Everyone on this sight with this problem should do so asap. All we can do is wait and see when and if we are contacted.

 

Well, the lock cylinder is changed and it no longer flips back so easily. I don't think it will stall anymore when going over a large bump :)
