Takata recall, since the car has a ignition problem and it is at the putnam GM burlingame till now they don't do any of recall even diagnose the car and they want me to remove it now or I have to pay to fix it different from the manufacture customer service says last Tuesday when I tow that car to their place after I tell to them the situation they said they taking care of it, now they change. I feel like because I have a older car and no value they don't think about the safety of the car and the damage could be made to others. I can't. drive that car not safe.I can't work without car please help. I'm not asking to fix the paint or wheel. Just check what they have to fix stopping of engine and hard to start cause by ignition and the airbag must work properly.

The GM passkey 2 security feature acts up constantly on these cars including the intrigue, Malibu, Cadillac. The security light comes on and disables the vehicle and a 40 minute relearn procedure must be completed each time. Happens to my vehicle 2-4 times a week.

The entire cluster system went out, $2200 replacement, the entire dash is coming down with a cost of $1000 dollars for replacement, valve cover gasket needs replaced with cost of $1200 cost to consumer, the brakes have been reworked for $300 dollars at a cost to consumer, actual mileage 43000- now problems started at 90,000 miles, the car constantly leaks in the auto when it rains, I feel as a consumer this vehicle should be recalled because I've had nothing but problems since the day of purchase, lost wages being stuck on the side of the road, pain and suffering because I only live on disability, and a part time job, and it took it all for repairs!!!!!
