PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM CONCERNS: I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON. I TESTED THIS IN MY DRIVEWAY MOVING SLOW IN REVERSE, THEN AGAIN MOVING SLOW IN DRIVE.I TRIED THIS BECAUSE A FRIEND ASKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING. THE START BUTTON ONLY WORKS IN PARK AND NEUTRAL WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS AS MORE CARS ARE USING THIS TECHNOLOGY,

I HAD A CAR WRECK ON JUNE 10, 2016. I HIT AN SUV THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY ON INTIAL IMPACT. I HIT THE SUV, THEN HIT AN IMBANKMENT. WHEN I HIT THE IMBANKMENT, IT DEPLOYED. IT SHOULD HAVE COME OUT ON INTIAL IMPACT. THE IMPACT WS SO GREAT, I HIT MY HEAD ON WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED GLASS ABOVE STERRING WHEEL, EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. I HAVE PICTURES OF CAR, BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THEM FOR SOME REASON. I CAN EMAIL THEM TO YOU IF YOU NEED ME TO.
