The ignition switch in your vehicle is a critical part that helps start the engine and deploy the airbags. In some 2000-2008 models, it can be dislodged by the weight of items on your key ring or rough road conditions, causing the engine to shut off unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ignition switch turns off while driving, your airbags might not deploy in a crash, which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealership will install two new key rings and a protective cover or insert on your ignition key, free of charge. This fix should be done as soon as possible to ensure your airbags work properly.
