The cable harness in question runs from the fuse box under hood through firewall to the passenger side foot area. At this point it connects to another harness that connects to various items at the rear of the vehicle. One circuit in particular the rear window defogger is burning wiring and socket and plug of the two wiring harness. Either the wiring or connectors burned apart without the circuit fuse blowing. The circuit has a 40amp fuse. The wiring harness for this circuit is 12 Garage. I can't find any manufacturer who recommends using 12 gauge wire on a 40 Amp circuit. This isn't even close to being correct. This is so agreegessly out of specification it would appear GM knew they had an issue with the circuit and fixed it By over fusing the circuit. This same issue on multiple models over several years.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. While starting the vehicle, the key remained stuck in the ignition switch. Once the key was removed, the igniton did not cut off. In addition, the front of the vehicle was leaking oil. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced and the oil leakage was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V355000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
When I attempt to turn off my vehicle, the key will not rotate to the off position..therefore, the key is stuck in the ignition and the car is still on, draining the battery. I took the car to a dealership in 2013 and told nothing was wrong with it but they charged me $165 to put in a new ignition. The problem was intermittent until December 2014 and now the key is permanently stuck in the ignition and if I want to drive my car, I have to charge the battery every time I drive it. GM just recalled the cobalt and HHR for the same issue. Why not expand the recall to include all GM products with this issue.

Letter from congressman forbes on behalf of constituent re: Vehicle recall on 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (mail reply to chesterfield, va office). The consumer stated the dealer told his wife, they knew nothing about a recall.
When we put the vehicle in park to exit it, the key gets stuck. As a result we have to hit the gear shift a couple of times to remove key. Doesn't happen each time but does happen often.
2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Consumer writes in regards to a defective trunk light mechanism that ignited a fire in vehicle burning it beyond repair. The consumer stated the vehicle was parked, at the time of the incident.
Car will not shift out of park intermittently. Dealer found wires to be broken and wires that were frayed at the shift solenoid. They removed console to splice and fix the wires. Dealer deemed wear and tear" at 32,000 miles" (console would have covered these wires totally so not sure where the wear and tear would be from). From putting the car in park" drive? reverse" I doubt it was wear and tear.
