description: THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEN IN 2012 AND CAUSED A CRASH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND NEEDED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE BRAKES AND IT DID NOT STOP ME. I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER SO I COULD NOT AVOID HITTING THE LADY IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST AND EVERYONE WAS OKAY. WHILE EXCHANGING INSURANCE INFORMATION, I NOTICED MY KEYS WERE IN THE FLOOR BOARD OF MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT, BECAUSE WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE SHOP IT SEEMED JUST FINE. THEN, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IN 2013 AND MY KNEE BUMPED MY KEY RING AND THEY FELL TO THE FLOOR. I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR SWITCH LANES. I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET. THEN IN NOVEMBER, 2013, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS THE FIRST TIME WHICH CAUSED A WRECK. I COULD NOT STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND REAR ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS BARELY MOVING WHATSOEVER THOUGH, SO I GOT LUCKY AGAIN. RECENTLY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE AUTOVBODY SHOP IN TOWN AND HAD TO PAY 800 DOLLARS TO GET THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THAT CAR AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT MANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A SINGLE ONE. APPARENTLY GM WAS SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY OWNERS WITH THEIR REGISTRATION INFORMATION. MY REGISTRATION JUST CAME UP FOR RENEWAL AS OF MAY 1ST AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OR INSTRUCTED WHAT TO DO. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I DUCT TAPE MY KEY SO THAT IT WILL NOT COME
