To finially recall an issue they documented and knew about 10 years ago. Only killed 6 people.

E/ the weigh of the keys turns the ignition off when driving . Loss of all power including airbags

Happened to me a solid 5-6 times last summer; 2 of which on the highway, one at a stop light, rest in regular traffic. Luckily for me i have atleast a little mechanical knowledge, enough to simply put it in N and restart. Some arent so lucky, and lost their lives.

And you really dont even feel/hear it at all. All times i didnt even notice till i went to hit the gas or turn.

There was aother article i cant find atm that went into some court details, and they pulled the files from the first test drives and the guy documenting the car had shut off on him. And they did nothing.

Now facing multi million dollar lawsuits and deaths.
2 of the 6 deaths were 18/19 year old kids, no alcohol, day time driving, clear roads, no other vehicles involved. Boom

They even tried pulling how "they are a new company since 09" . Needless to say its not gunna fly

Not to mention it folded like a house of cards due to a minor ding @ 5 mph in a parking lot. Good stuff....
Seemed like you had it for a lot longer than that tbh. Getting it gone was a good decision though.

I wonder....You think they used the same ignition and all on the G6? A friend of mine "miracled" her way out of one hell of a wreck in one, and the airbags didn't deploy. Her words, " Going into a corner and the brakes didn't work, tried to turn hard and couldn't" (because the power steering didn't either I'm guessing). Then she plowed through a few trees, over an embankment ~20 feet, rolled a few times, and the rear of the car broke off. Then she climbed out without injury.
