    Default How long before your 2014 ignition switch failed?

    I've had mine less than a month and have 500 miles on it, and it's beginning to get hard to operate. taking it in for warranty tires tomorrow and will have them take a look.

    Mine failed within the first 2 hours of ownership :-/, but it was for the ignition function of the frunk latch. OP had issues with the keys sticking in the ignition.

    Wow. This is a hell of an endorsement.

    Knock on wood, so far 3 weeks and 1000 miles and I'm still good, but thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on it.

    A service bulletin came out about the frunk and ignition with vin numbers that could be affected. They do a weight test on the frunk cable and they filed the "teeth" on my keys a touch so they wouldn't have a problem in the ignition. Only took about half hour.

    PS....this was for 2014 only

    Default No switch problems here

    I've not had switch problems with our 2012 or 2014 RT Limited. I have almost 10,000 miles on the 2014 RT L and it's been awesome. No hints or signs of any switch issues here.

    12,600 miles and 6 months here and no issues. It appears that those that have this issue it happens soon after the get their Spyder.

    Which brings up the question: "Are the dealers actually checking to see if these bikes are on the list?", prior to delivery, and during assembly?

    I've had my '14 about a month and 800 miles - while the frunk doesn't pop up (I have to turn the key & manually lift it, like my old '09 GS), I ride it every day, and turn it off & on at least 4 times a day. No problems at all.

    Mine did, but they had to wait a couple weeks for tool to test frunk cable. He said if problem with key/ignition would show up pretty quick.

    Mine failed quite early on (less than 1,000 miles) and it got replaced under warranty.

    Happened here at about 2000 miles--mine was cable slipping off--not locked up ignition/key. Dealer finally fixed after much diddling around with BRP.

    They replaced my ignition and the frunk cable.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
