In 2012 I had an incident, my key was stuck in the ignition with the car running. I took it to the dealer, the ignition lock cylinder was removed, and they found the spring hold down plate was off and the spring was out of the cylinder, they replaced the ignition lock cylinder. Then, the recall happened and in Feb of 2015 I had to bring my car in for the product safety recall, they replaced the ignition and start switch. In may or June 2015 I noticed that my car was acting weird, the speedometer was acting erratic jumping from 30 to 60 then back down to 20. It was jumping all over the place even when the car was just idling then it would stall out. I took it in to the dealer the last week of June or the 1st week of July, they changed the module panel and said it was under warranty. I drove my car out of state on July 17th, on the way home it started acting up again, the engine seemed to lose power when getting on the highway, the speedometer was acting all erratic and the car was bucking like it wanted to stall. When I got home I brought it back to the dealer on July 28th, the car was there all day but they said they could not replicate the issue so when I got off work I went up there and the tech took a ride with me, the car acted up and he got to see what it was doing, he mentioned something about a cluster panel to the service manager but said he had to check with GM. On Friday the 31st of 2015 they put in another ignition thinking the other may have been faulty. The tech called me to see how the car was running an hour later, the car was doing the same exact thing. I am taking it in tommorrow Aug 3rd but I'm not sure what will happen. My car has 59,800 miles and I just paid it off on July 31, 2015 it is unsafe to drive. While idling the speedometer jumped to 120 mph then stalled out. It stalls out at lights and stop signs and tries to stall when I am driving,

I have been trying to get my recalled ignition fixed. In the brochure that they sent me to notify me it says that I will get a complimentary vehicle while mine is fixed. I called 2 dealers one in burlingame and one in colma and they were rude as if I were asking a favor and told me I would have to rent a car that they don't give complimentary vehicles. In March I called their 800 number 1-800-222-1020 they gave me the runaround and told me they would call me back. I want this to be proof that I am trying to get my vehicle fixed in case an accident happens because of the recall parts and they say it is my fault for not trying to get it fixed.

The driver's side door will not open! it appears that the handle is not "attached" to anything. Yet on looking into the incident online there are reports of this happening, and the "solution" is to band your hand on the outside of the door to release it. The first time this worked, however it is only after climbing out of the vehicle from the opposite side to do this. Being someone is in an accident or unable to crawl across the car and out an opposite door, they will most likely perish or become wounded from not being able to exit their car. Fatalaities. Is this what it will take for them to acknowlege there is a problem?? this is a serious matter and needs to be addressed.

I purchased the vehicle in February 2010 and I didn't start noticing problems till around summer but they were not that bad till September were the car started showing strange electrical and steering issue. I received the recall letter in October and had the power steering issue fixed but its still have issues were the vehicle will swerve back and forth in return I will have to keep my hands on the steering wheel to try to keep it from hitting other vehicles on the highway. Then the blower motor that blows the hot and cold air sometimes istatically revs up high and I have to turn of the heater. Also I have noticed that the brakes squeal and I only have 10,300 miles. I have also noticed that the needles on the gauges in the dash tend to twitch radically when I turn the vehicle off sometimes. Then at times the car when turned on will start to act as if it was to shut off and the lights would all dim and then it would stabilize. It has done that on the highway making steering difficult at times. The engine as well had made knocking noises to its been an off and on thing.
