I KNOW MY CAR IS INVOLVED WITH THE GM RECALL FOR THE IGNITION, AS I CALLED THE CHEVROLET 1-800 NUMBER. YET I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. WHICH CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH. HOW DO I GET A LETTER? AND WHEN WILL I GET THIS LETTER. WHY IS GM NOT MOVING FASTER WITH THIS RECALL AND TRYING TO GET THE CARS FIXED, WHEN IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE TOO. *TR

THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR HAD 18,000 MILES WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE IGNITION SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO REINSERT THE KEY AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THEY ACCUSED ME OF ABUSE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE KEY INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH SINCE THE 1ST INCIDENT BUT THIS DID NOT PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM SHUTTING OFF. *TR

I STILL OWN THIS CAR AND TODAY RECEIVED MY FIRST NOTICE FROM GM THAT THIS CAR IS BEING RECALLED FOR AN IGNITION PROBLEM. THE ENGINE NEVER STOPPED IN THIS ACCIDENT THAT I AM AWARE OF. I JUST WANTED TO PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO YOU AGENCY. THANK YOU THIS MAY NOT BE THE DATE BUT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE REQUIRED FIELD. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET.

MY ELDERLY PARENTS PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PALM HARBOR, FL. THEY TOOK THE CAR IN NUMEROUS TIME FOR THE CAR SEIZING UP WHILE DRIVING AND POWER STEERING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER THEIR PURCHASE. THE STARTER WOULD TURN OFF, THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT, AND THEY OFTEN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THERE WERE VERY FEW MILES ON THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED SINCE THEY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2005. THEY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR FOR SUCH PROBLEMS BUT WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT NOTHING WRONG. THEY SOLD THE CAR TO ME, THEIR DAUGHTER, BECAUSE THEY HAD GOTTEN TO OLD TO DRIVE AND THEY WERE TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THEM IN APX. 2010 AND IT HAD APX 9000 MILES. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIME IN CHAPEL HILL, NC. THEY INSIST THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT. WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNS OFF THUS TURNING OFF THE CAR, AND THE STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS VERY SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. THE MOST RECENT RECEIPT FROM CHEVROLET FOR THIS PROBLEM IS FROM 8/14/2013 WITH 42950 MILES ON THE CAR. AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT. THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING FUSE AND IT HAS BEEN NOT INDICATING THAT PROBLEM. THE START STILL TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I THINK CHEVROLET HAS KNOW THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY COBALT SINCE 2005 AND DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. $500 TOWARD A NEW CAR..,.CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO WANT TO MAKE ME PURCHASE A CHEVY ANY TIME SOON. IF THEY CAN FIX THE CAR IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

Official recalls
5Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.
Feb 10, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
