THE KEY CAUSED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO SEPARATE AND BECOME LOOSE. NOW THE IGNITION SWITCH IS OUT OF POSITION AND START OUT OF PLACE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I ASKED TOLD THEM ABOUT IT WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING THE RECALL KEYS. THEY REFUSE TO FIX OR LOOK INTO IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LAW SUIT. WHICH IT SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE THEY BOTH GO TOGETHER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND NOT RESOLVE. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE MAIN PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE KEYS. *TR

THE 2004 CHEVY MALIBU CLASSIC IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION AS OTHER 2004 GM VEHICLES LISTED IN GM RECALL 13036. THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT BULBS ARE BRAND NEW. I AM ASKING GM TO INVESTIGATE AND CONSIDER ADDING THE 2004 CHEVY MALIBU CLASSIC TO THE LIST OF VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED IN RECALL 13036. THE CONDITIONS THAT THE 2004 MALIBU CLASSIC ARE EXPERIENCING ARE IDENTICAL TO THE CONDITIONS STATED IN THE RECALL. *TR
