I ORDERED MY PARTS FOR THE GM IGNITION SWITCH IN APRIL. IT IS NOW MID-SEPTEMBER. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN-AROUND FROM BOTH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I ORDERED THE PARTS FROM AS WELL AS THE GM CUSTOMER CARE. I AM A RESIDENT PHYSICIAN WHO DRIVES 30 MILES EACH WAY TO AND FROM THE HOSPITAL, SIX DAYS PER WEEK. TWICE NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD I'D HEAR BACK FROM THE GM DISTRICT MANAGER WITHIN 24-48 BUSINESS HOURS. I AM STILL AWAITING A CALL-BACK FROM A CONVERSATION LAST THURSDAY. NOT EVERYONE HAS A 9-5 JOB WITH HOLIDAYS OFF, A SECOND FAMILY CAR TO USE, A WORK ADDRESS CLOSE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR THE DISPOSABLE INCOME TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. I AM USING JUST THE SINGLE KEY, BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE PEACE OF MIND THAT I AM DRIVING IN SAFE VEHICLE, AS MY CAR HAS SWITCHED INTO THE ACCESSORY POSITION BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE RECALL. A $50 PER DAY OUT-OF-POCKET COST IS NOT A RESOLUTION, IT IS ANOTHER BURDEN ON THE CAR OWNER, ESPECIALLY IF HE OR SHE DOES NOT HAVE A DRIVEWAY OR GARAGE TO PARK THE FAULTY CAR. HEARING "WE CAN'T TELL WHEN YOUR PARTS WILL COME IN, BECAUSE SO MANY ARE BEING MADE," OR "WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR CAR? MAYBE YOUR PARTS ARE THERE," IS NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOR IS "WE'LL CHECK WITH THE DEALERSHIP, AND CALL YOU BACK". (THEN WAIT 24-48 HRS, JUST TO BE CALLED BACK BY THE REP WHO WROTE DOWN THE WRONG DEALERSHIP NAME, AND HAS NOT CALLED BACK SINCE). THIS IS UNREAL. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO TRACK CENTRALLY THE STATUS OF THE PARTS AND REPAIRS! THIS IS AN ENDLESS GAME OF PHONE TAG! *TR

MY CAR WAS PART OF THE GM RECALL FOR THE INCORRECT IGNITION SWITCHES. IT WAS RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 23RD, FIXED OR SO I WAS TOLD WITH A NEW IGNITION TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING THE CAR BACK, IT WAS DOING THE SAME AS BEFORE THE RECALL FIX WAS DONE. SLIPPING INTO ACCESSIBILITY MODE AND NOT GIVING ME ANY OPTION TO HIT THE GAS, ONLY PULL OFF IF I WAS ABLE, TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND GO. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I WAS GOING UPWARDS OF 40 MPH. THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WAS PULLING FROM MY STREET INTO A BUSY STREET WITH TRAFFIC GOING UPWARDS OF 55 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OFF AS QUICKLY AS I COULD ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE CAR, BACK ON AGAIN AND GO MEANWHILE HOPING TO NOT BE HIT. I CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RECALLED PART WAS FIXED AND THIS HAD TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT'S THE EXACT ISSUE THAT HAPPENED BEFORE MY CAR WAS FIXED. I'M 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND OFTEN DRIVE WITH MY 16 MONTH OLD SON IN THIS CAR WITH ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AND CANNOT JUST GO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE MORE ISSUES AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL FIX. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE SEEMS TO OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THERE IS A "POWER STEERING" DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD AND A WARNING CHIME. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM'S GO BONKERS, THE CAR REPEATEDLY JUMPS FORWARD ABRUPTLY, AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. SOMETIMES I CAN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE ISSUE GOES AWAY, AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR, BUT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR RECALL (DONE IN JULY OF 2013) SEEMED TO FIX IT, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. IT IS IRRITATING AND SCARY TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THIS, AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY DURING THE UPCOMING WINTER MONTHS WHERE I WILL CERTAINLY BE DRIVING ON ICE AND SNOW. I HOPE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER RECALL TO PERMANENTLY SOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *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.

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.
