MY ELECTORAL SYSTEM AND STARTER HAS GONE OUT ON ME MANY TIMES THIS WOULD BE THE 3RD TIME IN THE LAST YEAR IV HAD TO REPAIR IT. ON MY 2006 CHEVY IMPALA. *TR

THE GM "FIX" FOR THE IGNITION ISSUE IS TO REPLACE KEYS SO THAT NOTHING CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE KEY, INCLUDING NOT EVEN THE FOB, THE "FIX" IS NOT TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART TO THE IGNITION. I'VE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2006 AND DRIVEN IT ALL THIS TIME WITH A LOT OF OTHER KEYS AND THE FOB ATTACHED. DURING THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION. I THINK THERE MAY BE AN ENGINEERING OVERSIGHT: IT STANDS TO REASON THAT HAVING USED THE KEY WITH THE WEIGHT ATTACHED FOR 8 YEARS PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WORN THE INTERNAL CONNECTIONS BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF THE INSERTED KEY. IT ALSO SEEMS REASONABLE, THAT NOW HAVING A KEY THAT IS LIGHT WEIGHT BEING INSERTED INTO THE SAME CHAMBER AS THE HEAVILY WEIGHTED KEY, WILL MEAN THAT THE NEW KEY WON'T FIT OR MAKE THE PROPER CONNECTION IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE NEW KEY WILL NOT BE AS HEAVY, AND THEREFORE THE "FIX" IS REALLY CREATING A NEW PROBLEM. WHY WOULDN'T THE WHOLE IGNITION APPARATUS HAVING TO DO WITH THE KEY BE REPLACED AS WELL AS KEYS????? I THINK THIS IS A BIG OVERSIGHT, AND A BIG PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY SINCE ALL THE TESTIMONY I HEARD OR READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM GM IS THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE "MIS-SIZED PART" --- I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN FROM MY DEALER THAT IT IS THE KEYS THAT ARE BEING REPLACED, AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THE FOBS ATTACHED. THIS IS SURELY DECEPTION, AND IF THE "FIX" HAS NOT BEEN TESTED ON EVERY CAR, HOW CAN WE TRUST THAT THE NEW KEYS WILL WORK WITH THE BY NOW WORN INTERNAL AND INCORRECT PART? THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I'VE WRITTEN TO MY SENATOR ABOUT THIS. . .AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE. IN THE MEANTIME, I GO THURSDAY TO GET THE NEW KEYS. . .THEREAFTER THE OLD KEYS WON'T WORK WITH MY CAR.

FIRST OF ALL, I USE MY CAR TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH FROM SCHOOL. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE I CAME HOME, STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS, MY CAR WOULD CUT OFF AND THEN CUT BACK ON. ALSO, MY RADIO HAS CHANGED STATIONS BY ITSELF. THEN, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT A KNOCKING NOISE COMES FROM MY AIR VENTS AND IT LAST FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS CAUSING THAT. I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR
