My pontiac's ignition key has fallen out of the ignition on at least three separate occasions while I'm driving/turning. In addition to the key falling out of the ignition, the steering wheel becomes hard to steer and I have to use the emergency brake to stop. The most recent incident took place one day after my car was serviced at a local gm dealer in relation to the 14350 unintended ignition key rotation post card I received in the mail. I did call the gm dealer to report that the car was producing the same high risk issues and that I could come up there and show them this same problem while their staff is also in the car. I was told " we fixed the recall problem you must have another issue that is not covered under this recall." I am willing to record and upload video footage to youtube or a gm site that accepts videos so gm corporation can assess my issues remotely. Thanks in advance
