Keyless ignition switch which is attached to break has defect. Unable to start car, called aaa who could not start. Called hot line and they said have been having a number of problems with this. Called local dealer who verified havin a number of failures on this and need to replace. Agreed probably need to send a bulletin to owners and recall. The switch sticks and will not allow you to start the car.
