Safety recall K08. Wireless ignition node key falls out of ignition, car keeps running, can't shut off unless disconnect battery. Car also shuts off by itself at times in the middle of traffic. Purchased car about two years ago. Dealer wants to charge $1250 to fix it because car not showing any open recalls. May have been fixed one time before we purchased it but it is doing exactly what recall problem is right now. Not sure if it was ever taken care of.

While driving down the road all the park reverse neutral and drive lights started having flashing squares around them and a 8 appeared at the end of them. Then the transmission started getting stuck at high speed and nearly made me loose control.
