- Philadelphia, PA, USA

On or around December 19, 2014, I contacted GM, by telephone, concerning recall 14350 for our 2002 Chevrolet Malibu. This call was following a letter I had sent, dated December 8, 2014. I feel this recall was related to an ignition switch problem we had back in June 2013. In June 2013 I took this vehicle to the dealership because the car engine shut off will driving. I was told the ignition switch had to be replaced. This repair cost $479.19. After receiving this recall notice, I requested that this money be refunded and was told that they were unrelated and I could not be reimbursed. I feel strongly that I am owed the refund of my money paid to the dealership. Thank you.

I had ignition recall serviced on 10/15/2014 at Chevrolet dealer. Two days later, key would not open driver's door (manual locks), also stereo and heat would not come on until car was turned off. Problem has just gotten worse, now driver door will not open from inside or outside. I am forced to crawl across front seat to passenger side to get in and out. Also, now stereo stays on when car is turned off, parked and locked up. I called the Chevrolet dealer after the recall service, they said it had nothing to do with them shaving the key down and they would gladly check my car for $149. I called GM and they refused to help. I have spoken to many people online and in person who also own Chevrolet and they are having the same issues. I feel this is a safety issue and needs to be investigated. The Chevy dealer and GM dropped the ball on this issue.
