Aston Martin DB9 Problems by year

This car has a spring compression chamber where the key goes in the dashboard . Twice over the last 6 yrs the chamber has spit the key out like a bullet and shut the car off. Once while I was driving on a highway in 2017 and at a gas station in 2023. The chamber smokes up and if someone was in the back seat they c/h/b killed by the force of the crystal glass key. I reported the incidents to the aston martin us reps and was summarily dismissed. They ignored me. The aston martin dimmitt group in tampa serviced my...

Headlights, not bulbs, failed in both. It is available for inspection. Creates driving hazard for all.The defect has been confirmed by shop and no other inspections at this time. I did communicate with dealer who said they are not covered under any warranty or recall, and acknowledged it is a factory defect. No warning lights. The problem first appeared in January of 2022.

Both rear tail light covers are fogging and holding moisture droplets. Right side break light fails intermittently and before long may lead to electrical problems or loss of break light function. Car is just recently out of warranty so I don't anticipate any help from the dealer. The problem is consistent with other owners. Thank you.

The car stalled at a few mph and would not restart for several minutes. This had happened once before. The instrumentation lights remained on. The engine would not turn over. The car was towed to palm beach motors. The computer did not show a fault and they could not replicate the incident. They refused to diagnose and would not take any further action, even though I had purchased an extended warranty. I spoke directly with aston martin, who asked questions that indicated to me that they had heard of this issue,...

Test drive customers car home to evaluate engine missfire. Left shop at 5pm, drove approx 20 miles to my house. No problem noted, next morning start the car, drove 1.5 Miles turned right onto santiago canyon road in orange county calif. From modjeska canyon road, mildy accellerated to 45 mph and the hood flew straight up in the air. Car had been driven 70 mph on the way home. The hood latch failed and the safety catch did not engage the hood. Found to be stuck. I was on a two lane rode with little traffic so I was able to pull to the right and not hit anything. If it had been on a freeway at a faster pace we would have made the news! *Tr

Since july 2010 I had complaints about an intermittent rattle near the drivers outside mirror. I made at least ten trips to the dealer for repairs and nothing seemed to remedy this issue. During the last time the door panel was removed, another fix made and a subsequent road test, the noise was heard by the dealers mechanic. After tightening some bolts when it was discovered that the left fender near the a pillar was loose, the windshield cracked. During the process of removing this windshield, it was discovered...
