Potential problems. There are a few issues with push-button start systems, though. For instance, the fob can be removed from inside the car during operation and it will not affect operation.
So, the only real difference between a push button start system and a conventional keyed ignition is that; you don’t need a key to close the circuit on the ignition. The button does that. Also, pushing the button does the same thing that turning the key does.
