Default Issue with the START Button

While on a road trip, the start button got loose on the left side and while I was killing the engine it went behind the dash..



It has been fixed but had me concerned that it might fall way behind.

Probably wasn't clipped in right at the factory. Doesn't seem to be a major problem. My start button cracked, I have a replacement but have not replaced it yet.

That's what the Service Manager at my dealership said. As an ex C3, C4 and C5 owner I am new to the C6 and having it fall behind the dash scared me pretty good. I was out of town and the workaround was to hold the switch with one finger and use the eraser end of pencil to shut down and restart the C6. All is well now. One of the 4-point clips came lose and it did not take long for the others to give up.
