I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE PARKING GARAGE THAT I HAVE USED FOR 24 YEARS. I TURNED THE WHEEL GENTLY TO MAKE WHAT I ESTIMATE TO BE A 60 DEGREE TURN. THE NEXT THING I KNEW, THE CAR HAD SMASHED INTO A LOAD-BEARING PILLAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEABLE BUT LATER WAS LABELED TOTALED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT HAD ONLY APPEARED THAT DAY.

UPON PURCHASING MY MOTORCYCLE, THE FIRST TIME AFTER GETTING IT HOME IT REFUSED TO START. IN TROUBLESHOOTING THE ISSUE, I FOUND THE KILL SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WIGGLED THE SWITCH AND IT EVENTUALLY STARTED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THAT DAY, AND I WAS THINKING IF THE ISSUE WERE TO OCCUR WHILE RIDING, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I THINK IT IS WORTH LOOKING INTO IF IT CAN BE CORRECTED PERMANENTLY. *TR
