Default Push start/off/accessory Button broken loose.

When I tried to turn off my ignition. I noticed the start/off/accessory button was tilted to the left side, broken loose and unfastened to the dash. Has anyone else had the problem?

There have been a few reports, maybe a year or so ago. I haven't seen anything related to '08's yet. I don't have any references for you right now. I will look around and you could try an advanced search.


Edit: I found 1 thread with several reports of the problem:

It worked! Although, I could not get the cover off, but by simply lifting the botton part if the cover with my hand, I did manage to just reach one finger underneath the switch and popped it back in place.

Many many thanks for the information and help.
