THIS CAR HAS A SPRING COMPRESSION CHAMBER WHERE THE KEY GOES IN THE DASHBOARD . TWICE OVER THE LAST 6 YRS THE CHAMBER HAS SPIT THE KEY OUT LIKE A BULLET AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN 2017 AND AT A GAS STATION IN 2023. THE CHAMBER SMOKES UP AND IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT THEY C/H/B KILLED BY THE FORCE OF THE CRYSTAL GLASS KEY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENTS TO THE ASTON MARTIN US REPS AND WAS SUMMARILY DISMISSED. THEY IGNORED ME. THE ASTON MARTIN DIMMITT GROUP IN TAMPA SERVICED MY CAR THIS YEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SINCE THEY DID NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY OUTREACH I FELT COMPELLED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I DONT WANT ANYONE GETTING HURT. THIS IS A 250K CAR! I HAVE ALL THE REPAIR BILLS AND DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR . MOST RECENT $18,000 IN 2023. I TRIED TO UPLOAD RECENT INVOICE ON YOUR UPLOAD PAGE BUT IT WOULD NOT TAKE. I CAN EMAIL TO YOU IF ASKED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
