Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN SIDE STREET, REACHED FOR SOMETHING IN PASSENGER SEAT, DREW MY HAND BACK MAKING VERY GENTLE CONTACT WITH IGNITION KEY IN CENTER CONSOLE AND CAR SHUT OFF. I HARDLY TOUCHED THE KEY. THIS SECOND TIME IN EARLY JUNE, THOUGH I HIT IT WITH MY CUP (ICE TEA FROM MCDONALDS). THEN THIS WEEKEND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT IS VERY EASY TO BUMP IT WITH YOUR ARM AND HAVE IT SHUT OFF. I CALLED GMC AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE AS WITH THEIR OTHER CARS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND SUSPECT THAT THE IGNITION IS THE SAME THAT IS IN THE GMC ENVOY, TRAILBLAZER, ETC. ALSO, THE 2007 WAS RECALLED, AND I THINK THE 2008 SHOULD BE AS WELL. MY CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR SOMEONE TO INSPECT IT ANYTIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW EASY IT IS FOR IT TO HAPPEN. *TR
