Description of the problem | I'm not sure if this is considered a design flaw, but i do consider this a safety issue. While driving, i have reached over to press the button to turn on my radio and my car has turned off and i have to come/roll to a complete stop to restart the car. After this happened a few times, i realized i was pressing the button located next to the radio button. The button i was pressing was the start/stop button. Luckily i have done this while driving around my small town, but it would cause an accident if this happened on a 4-8 lane highway. In order to make sure this does not happen again, now i consciously look over before i turn on my radio which means i take my eyes off the road for a few seconds. I wish i could have been aware of this when i bought car to avoid this ever happening. I am providing a picture to show the setup of the buttons. This occurred after i purchased my vehicle in 2017, but i happened upon this website and felt this warranted a complaint. |
