NHTSA Complaint #10598137 — 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT

MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO FRANKLIN MOTORS ON 05/15/2014 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH 14V047 & 14V171. I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR IN THE MEANTIME. MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME 06/12/2014. THAT SAME NIGHT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF MY CAR AND REMOVE THE KEY IT WAS DIFFICULT. TODAY, 06/13/2014, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF MY CAR, AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF, I COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. AFTER SEVERAL TURNS OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND JIGGLING THE KEYS THE CAR FINALLY TURNED OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE IGNITION WAS ACTUALLY FIXED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHY AM I HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I HAD BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP? I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE GRANDKIDS THAT I PICK UP AND I NEED A SAFE CAR THAT I CAN TRUST. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. FRANKLIN MOTORS ONCE AGAIN HAS MY CAR. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO? HOW AM I TO FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE ONCE IT IS RETURNED TO ME AGAIN? I WANT SOMETHING DONE TO EASE MY MIND. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO RIDE DOWN THE ROAD AND BE ONE OF GM'S STATISTICS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED? THANK YOU THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE ONGOING PROBLEMS SHE CONTINUED TO HAVE, WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER, AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION. UPDATED 1/6/2015 *JS
