Signal lights started causing problems approx. 5 years ago. Blowing bulbs, working some time but not all the time. Bulb sockets overheating and melting. Replaced front headlight assembly right and left. Not the problem. Still have same problem. They will stop working, one side at the time and for no rational reason will start again as if a short in the electrical system. Running lights work part of time. We have replaced a ton of bulbs but to no avail. Can someone on this earth please tell me where the switches are located in the electrical system so this vehicle can be repaired. So far, no luck in this effort. My car only has 330,000 miles plus and so far this is all that is wrong.

I'd been noticing that my car would quit at random times a little over a year ago, at first once every month or three, then gradually worked up to maybe once or twice a week. When I received the recall notice and took my key off my key ring. I had no further quitting incidents until I took my car in to the dealer october 31st. They did their thing with my key, and my car quit ten minutes later, on the way to an urgent appointment. I got it started again, then it quit again a couple of blocks down the road. I finally made it to my appointment, 5 minutes late. I put aside the "new" key, used a spare from then on, and the car seemed fine over the weekend. But on monday morning I drove to the gym to work out, and the car would not start when I finished my workout and I walked the rest of the way to work. It started fine that evening, then again this morning, but conked out half way to work again. I got it started again before it coasted to a stop, but this is getting ridiculous. I think the recall is a failure, and gm needs to do something much more than replacing the key head for it to be effective. If I wasn't a strong man, I could have had many serious accidents by now.

Gm sent me a recall notice for the infamous ignition switch defect. The cheap remedy that they propose, which is to provide the owner with a keyring the restricts adding additional keys to the keychain, imposes an additional burden on the car owner beyond what was required when the owner purchased the car. The remedy provided by gm is entirely unacceptable. Instead, gm should replace the ignition cylinder as they are doing in newer cars. Alternatively, gm should buy the cars back at its current kelly blue book value.

3 months ago my electrical started going haywire. Turn signals, dash, lights, windows. Most occur while turning car on. It's hit and miss whether it starts. Battery drains sometimes no rhyme or reason. It starts without incident one day and then needs recharged the next. I've had multiple people tell me an aray of different possibilities, alternator, ignition switch, battery, worn down key, leaving something on etc. I believe the problem occurs because the key can come in and out while in any position. Because of this I believe the battery is being drained because people are unaware that they are removing the key while it is still in the acc or on position. This doesnt explain why various electrical components aren't working at full capacity all the time. I did notice that the hit and miss quality wasn't as severe once I removed all extras from the key after receiving the recall notice a week ago. I started to pay more attention to what was going on to see if perhaps the issue was related last sunday the battery seemed dead again and the car wouldn't start. I tried several times until I got things to light up but then the key slipped out while trying to start it. I slipped the key back in and now it won't turn to either the off or start positions. It remains in acc or on positions only. Even if I charged the battery I wouldn't be able to start it or turn the electrical accessories off to keep the battery from draining again. From what I can tell, the recall doesn't actually replace the ignition switch it only modifies the keys to keep the ignition switch from becoming faulty. What am I supposed to do since the problem has already occurred? Even though the part that the recall was issued for caused my problem, will I have to pay out of pocket to fix the actual problem? Who do I contact if they will fix the problem?
