“Key got stuck in ignition and would not come out. My car in not on the GM recall list so dealer wanted to charge me an arm and two legs to fix. Took to an auto repair shop. How do cars get added to the recall list? Mine should definitely be on this one for ignition problem to the tune of $357.”

“After starting car, I was unable to disengage the car from the parking position. Was only able to get car out the park position by jamming a metal device into the manual shift lock release position. Ended having car towed to mechanic who diagnosed problem as needing a new fuse box. However, after first drive home, back to original problem: cannot remove key from ignition and if I do drive, electrical power goes out.”

“The daytime running lights module had a recall on it. I made an apt at the local dealer last week and made an appointment today to get the recall done. Recall number is 14236. They did not fix it, said they didn't have the part even though I contacted them last week and gave them the VIN and the recall number. I picked up the car with the intent of taking it to another dealer and it caught fire on the way home and destroyed the car.”

“My airbag never deployed during a front end collision. My car continues to get stuck in park. The passenger side window switch does not work. The AC continuous to make a ticking sound and still does not work after replacing a valve for a leak and replacing the compressor.”

NHTSA complaint #10609306, filed 2014-07, 31,200 miles

“The dashboard over the speedometer becomes very hot and the key is hot when removed. I feel this may be related to recall 14236 regarding running lights. I am concerned about the recall 06133 regarding fuel line/fuse block as well.”
