I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 704 MILES ON IT IN FEBRUARY 2008. IN MAY OF 2008, THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS WERE "DISABLED". I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD WATER IN THE FUEL. AS I WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED SHIFTING, AND THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE. I LEFT THE CAR TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK 5 DAYS LATER AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WHERE DISABLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN THE HOPES THAT THEY COULD FIND THE TROUBLE. AFTER 14 DAYS IN SERVICE, THEY DETERMINED THAT RUST HAS CLOGGED THE FUEL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 9,800 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS NOW "UNDRIVEABLE". THEY HAVE YET TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS THE CATALYST FOR THE SERVICE VISIT. *TR

Official recalls

14V355000 · Electrical System:ignition

Jun 23, 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) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

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. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet).
