Issue

On certain vehicles equipped with Push-to-Start/Stop (PTS) switch located at the bottom of the transmission shift controls, the switch could be inadvertently actuated, unintentionally causing the engine to shut off. An inadvertent actuation of the PTS switch would result in an audible chime through the radio speakers and a "Vehicle Switched Off" message on the vehicle information display. If the PTS switch is inadvertently actuated while driving, the restraint system may not perform as intended during a crash, which would increase the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM), and replace the gear shift module (GSM), which relocates the PTS switch.
