I am issuing a complaint regarding your id number for recall 14V400. GM recall number 14350. This recall does not fix the problem of the ignition shutting off during driving. It is merely a band aid. I want National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to re-open this recall and force GM to actually fix the problem with a new safe key slot or ignition switch, or whatever will actually stop this extremely dangerous problem. This is outrageous that you administration has allowed such nonsense.
