What owners report most often
Recalls and investigations
Electrical system, ignitionJul 3, 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 July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix 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.
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.
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 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

MY CAR HAS EXPEREINCED TROUBLE STARTING DUE TO THIS IGNITION SWIRCH, RECALL. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE BEEN TO SERVICE STATIONS AND THE MECHANINCS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, CAUSING ME TO PUT OUT MONEY FOR A NEW STARTER, A NEW ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, NEW FUEL PUMP ETC. THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE FACED WERE DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH NOT BEING IN THE "RUN" POSITION. HOW CAN I EVER BE COMPENSATED FOR ALL OF THE REPAIRS THAT WERE NOT REALLY NEEDED ON MY CAR DUE TO SOME MAJOR CORPORATION BEING GREEDY AND KEEPING IT'S CUSTOMERS IN THE DARK ABOUT THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION. GM HAS BEEN PUTTING ME IN DANGER FOR YEARS NOW, AND I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO BE MADE TO CORRECT THEIR ERROR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE ROAD AND IN UNDESIRED PLACES, THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE! *TR
