FAIL TO START AND IT WAS AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES, WE DIDN'T GET RECEIPTS, AND THEY SAY 2 TIMES. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND WE WENT WEEKS AND MONTHS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. IT STARTED AGAIN THIS FEB AND "EVERY" TIME WE TRIED TO DRIVE IT, WE HAD TO JUMP IT. THE DEALER TOOK IT IN THIS PAST MONTH AND SAID HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OF COURSE, IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY WITH ONLY TODAY WE ARE PAYING TO HAVE A PRIVATE REPAIR MAN FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH WE THINK IS A STARTER. WE DO NOT HAVE RECORDS OF WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, ONLY THE YEAR, SO THEREFORE I'M PUTTING IN JAN 1 FOR ASTERIK.

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.
