My daughter was on her way to work and was unable to stop andhit the rear end of the vehicle in front of her. The car shut off. . . She did what the recall was told to do and had just the key in the ignition. . . Luckily she was able to turn on the car to get out of traffic and she was not going too fast the seatbelts did not work and the airbag did not work as well. . Also before we knew about the recall her ignition was messing up by not able to completely turn off while in park and key would not come out. . . We have to shift gears and turn off and on the car to get the key loose. . . So now we are down a car, I paid the car in full and its now not drivable. . . ??.
