I want to report the ignition switch on a 1999 olds Alero V6. I have replaced the ignition switch on my car 3 times now since Aug. 2013. There has to be an electrical issue becasue my security light come on and my air conditioner does not come on. So I had it tested and its not getting any electrical to it to come on. And that is exactly the way it happens evertime. So I was wondering if there was a recall or would they be one in near future.... becasue I dont 300-400 everytime it goes out.

I had the recall done but my car keeps dying and when the car is running I can now remove my key and engine stays running. The security light comes on all the time and I have to sit and wait at least 10 min for car to start. I have a baby and with this cold weather plus being stranded is not safe. I was told all the dealer did was a new key/insert. The whole ignition lock assembly should be replaced under a new recall. The dealer told me for $100 diagnostic fee that could look at the car. Never did this until the dealer did the repair.

When trying to start the anti-theft light comes on and blinks you must wait 10 mins to restart and sometimes the vehicle will start or you have to wait the recycle till again. GM did a recall on the key itself to add a hole in the key for the weight situation, but did not help the ignition problem of starting this vehicle. My question is why hasn't this problem been address yet? I have several complaints on this problem.

I have a 1999 olds Alero and am just now getting a recall for the key switch. As soon as I got it I took the car to the local dealer. I was told they are out of parts and my name was put on a waiting list. I was also adived it may take three to four weeks. I also asked if the car was safe told rive and was told yes. If the car is safe to drive why the recall. If there is something wrong with the key switch how can it be safe to drive. Why doesn't the dealer have the parts and why should it take three to four weeks. What happen during the wait time if there is and accident and someone is injured or killed. Why does the auto dealers play games with our lifes. Please look inot this or at least file this complaint, then if I am in an accident before they fix it I'll have prove I filed a complaint. Also I had to put brakes for the car part it would not take key switch, which is what the problem is. So disregard brakes.
