Ignition switch is overheating. The longer the car is driven (10-15 miles) the hotter it is becoming. It heats up so much that the ignition key becomes quite hot as well...but the switch itself is even hotter. I fear there will be an electrical fire starting soon, and have already decided to stop at intervals to turn the ignition off so it cools down. It doesn't make any difference if it's driven fast or slow, driving still heats up the ignition switch. The only odd occurrence that might be somehow connected is the right turn signal bulb needed replaced since this started.

Basically I am writing because gm issued a recall in june 2014 letting me know that my car has an issue which may lead to a fire in my car. The problem is that a year has passed and the status of that recall still is "general motors will provide its plan for remedying the defect as soon as it is confirmed." I honestly feel they have forgotten all about it. I don't think this should be an issue that should take such a long time to get fixed.
