I am writing because I am the owner of a 2007 Chevy Cobalt and there is a recall on one of the parts on the key fab or with the electrical connection in the steering wheel that can cause engine to shut off. I have received letters telling me to wait until parts have become available and have also been told there have been fatalities due to this issue. While I my self have not experienced a fatal accident when I was driving with two others in my car some time last year the car just shut off but the key stayed in the on position and should not have been shut off, I am however concerned and am not satisfied that I am being told to wait a month or two longer and feel something should be done sooner whether its getting the part sent out faster or issuing a rental vehicle because GM's solution to park the vehicle until the part is available does not work for my self I have to go to college, to an internship, and work and can not afford to not go to any of those things. Safety should be a issue that is dealt with and putting peoples lives at stake is stupid especially when there is another way to handle the situation but GM is chose not to do so. And if anything is not done or the part is not here sooner and something happens to me or my vehicle between now and than I am assuming GM is the one who is going to pay for the damage caused by one of their vehicles with an issue they new about and are not working fast enough to handle?
