2005 Chevrolet Malibu Classic

SINCE 2010, WITH CAR ONLY BEING 5 YEARS OLD, THE KEY BEGAN HARDLY WORKING IN THE IGNITION. WE HAD TO KEEP JIGGLING AND RE-TRYING UNTIL WOULD WORK. THE RECALL ONLY COVERED NOTIFYING OWNERS NOT TO PUT EXTRA KEYS ON THEIR KEY CHAIN BUT WOULD NOT COVER THE FACT THAT THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. CONTINUED TO LIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM, THEN THE THEFT DETERRANT LIGHT STARTED GOING ON BECAUSE OF THE NECESSARY JIGGLING -- WHERE THE CAR WON'T START AND YOU HAVE TO TURN TO ACC AND WAIT 10 MINUTES. ONCE AGAIN, DEALER REFUSED TO COVER. STATIONARY PROBLEM, BUT FOR MY ELDERLY FATHER, NOT GOOD FOR THE KEY NOT TO WORK FOR A WHILE, OR WILL NOT START FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM BEING ACTIVIATED

THE IGNITION CYLINDER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU CLASSIC FAILED, AND THE KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL TO MAKE THE KEY HOLE SMALLER ON THE KEY ITSELF TO FIX IGNITION PROBLEMS IS AN INCOMPLETE REPAIR. UPON CONTACTING GM ABOUT THE IGNITION PROBLEM, THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO GILLMAN CHEVROLET HARLINGEN AT THEIR EXPENSE, BUT SO FAR GM HAS REFUSED TO MAKE A COMPLETE REPAIR TO THE IGNITION. GM MAINTAINS THAT THE RECALL TO THE IGNITION PROBLEM IS ONLY TO FIX THE KEY HOLE, AND DOES NOT WANT TO AUTHORIZE A COMPLETE REPAIR FOR THE IGNITION FAILURE. ALSO, THE SHIFTER SELENOID HAS FAILED, AND THE KEY WON'T RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION. THE THEFT SYSTEM ALSO FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE AND WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO TURN ON. WHEN THE THEFT SYSTEM FAILS, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE IS TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION FOR 10 MINUTES WHICH THEN RESETS THE THEFT SYSTEM. GM IS BUILDING SUBSTANDARD VEHICLES AND WON'T MAKE COMPLETE REPAIRS ON THE FAULTY IGNITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR GM CUSTOMERS AND AFTER A WEEK OF TRYING TO GET GM ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR MY IGNITION PROBLEM, THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS.
