“It is difficult to get the key out of the ignition. I have to turn the wheel all the way to the right, then 1 turn to the left. I have already had recall 14063 and 14113 performed on my car. I told the mechanic about it, and it worked correctly for a couple of weeks then went back to not letting me get the key out of the ignition unless the steering wheel is turned a certain way. This happens when I am try to leave after I park.”

“I have had intermittent issues with my passenger airbag light coming on and off. My vehicle has about 65,000 miles on it and I do not feel safe driving it with passengers. My gas cap light is on and off as well, and now, water is pooling on the floor for no reason after a dealer looked at my car. I have reported my airbag case to GM, as well as to the NHTSA hotline. I feel like airbag issues should be covered in all vehicles, particularly if there is no evidence of a crash. I do not have an airbag on/off switch, so I have no way to turn it on/off. …”

“Previous recall was for ignition, I'm still having problems since it was supposing fixed. The ignition will not release my key, this has been happening for a few months now. I have to sit and wait for several clicks b4 I can take my key out. Now it will hold my key and not release as it will lock the doors and won't allow me to put the car in gear. So I'm literally trapped inside. I have to wait several minutes b4 the ignition will release the key as well as allow me to unlock the door to get out. For now this is only occurring when I am sitting still. …”
