AFTER ROUNDING A CURVE AND SEEING A DEER AND THINKING HOW LUCKY I WAS THAT IT DIDN'T JUMP OUT IN FRONT OF ME, MY ENGINE DIED AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT WENT OFF INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE DITCH AND HIT A FIELD DRIVEWAY CULVERT WITH THE DIVERS SIDE TIRE, WHICH ULTIMATELY BENT THE FRAME AND TOTALED MY CAR.. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY AND I HAD ONLY A MINOR INJURY. MY ELBOW WENT THROUGH A DRIVERS SIDE AIR VENT. SINCE MY CAR IS TOTALED AND THE RECALL SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS THE CAUSE, CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED OR SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION? I HAD A LOT OF KEYS ON MY CAR RING AS A WORK FOR THE CITY. *TR

Jul 3, 2014
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) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
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 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
