I am writing in regards to the GM recall #14299. Ignition issue. We received a letter from Buick/GM the end of September. I called the local Buick GMC dealer to set up an appt to get it fixed, and she said I would have to call back in 2-3 weeks because the parts were backordered. Last week on the national news GM was complaining because people weren't getting this problem taken care of and they wanted to offer gift cards. I called the local dealer again and now the parts are in but they are booked until December 15 of this year because now everyone wants to get their vehicles fixed. So I have to go a little over another month before I can get this fixed? not real happy about how this was handled. If there's a recall, the manufacturer should have the parts in stock before a letter is sent out telling up to get our vehicle fixed right away.

I lost engine power as I was driving on I75 approximately 16 miles South of venice Florida. One of the tires exploded and the whole wiring system was destroyed due to the tire explosion, as well as the back bumper. My vehicle was towed to the Buick dealer in venice Florida. Repair costs including towing and rental car for the period my vehicle was being repaired elevated to approximately $1600. This does not include replacement of the back bumper which would cost an additional $1400 per Buick's quote. I was informed of a recall by Buick due to the exact reasons that led to my accident and related costs. General Motors is declining responsibility whereas I did experience the problems listed in the reasons for recall number 14299.

Control module failed as I entered the driveway, into my garage. The key could not be removed. Directional control was lost and the engine would not turn off. The battery had to be disconnected to turn off the engine. The key switch failed once before, when the tumbler within the ignition switch stuck open when the key was removed; but the ignition circuit remained open. Consequently, the battery went dead. Buick service diagnosed the failed switch, and determined the switch tumbler had stuck in the on position. The problem was corrected by lubricating the key switch internally...updated 10/22/14
