Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that anytime it rains, heavy water leaks into the vehicle on the passenger side through the fuse box panel. The failure creates a puddle of water on the passenger floor and also affected the electrical system, especially the window motors. The failure has been occurring since april of 2006 and the dealer has been unable to duplicate the failure. On may 17,2008, the general manager was able to see the puddle of water and stated that the water was entering in through the fuse box panel. The technicians repaired the fuse box panel due to corrosion and sealed the cowl. The failure has recurred and the general manager advised him to call the federal safety agency to file a safety complaint. The current mileage is approximately 38,150 and the failure mileage was unavailable. Updated

What is wrong
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Risk
If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1‑800‑521‑7300 (Buick), 1‑800‑458‑8006 (Cadillac), and 1‑800‑222‑1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
