How long before your 2014 ignition switch failed?

[mtdoragary]

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.

It hasn't..

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

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. :thumbup:

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? :dontknow:

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.

:agree: I work with a great dealer and I never hear of this happening...

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

 

[ARtraveler]

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.

I heard that BRP got a great deal on ignition switches from General Motors!!!! :roflblack::roflblack:
