well very upset that the ignition switch fails on this car. But first you need to sink hundreds of dollars into finding the problem like replacing the battery, having car towed. My daughter is away at college and one day car does not start...umm had to have it towed home to find out what the problem was. first we replaced the battery..NOPE not it 125.00 gone.... Then after doing some reasearch online we tried putting in a new ignition switch poof that was it. so the part was only 35.00 great but then what i am a female and was not even going to attempt to do this my self . Did not have the funds to have it towed wo dealership, pay 100 for diagnostic testing and god knows what else so i found someone to replace the switch for 150.00. great... complained to GM...got the run aaround and then was told they would not give me a cent because i did not go to the dealership...WHAT? really the bill would have been 600.00 or more. One would think that since hundreds or thousands of people have had this happen a recall would have been in place, they admitt to know about the problem...something has to be done....this car has been a nightmare from the get go, from whole car smelling of gas, to power stearing failing while driving it. It is just not a safe car at all for no one.....
