Consumer Description

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WILL NOT START, AND THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND 170 DOLLARS LATTER I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT COMES IN TWO PARTS AND NO ONE KNOW WHICH PART IT NEEDS. I'VE SEEN TWO OTHER MECHANICS SINCE, SAME STORY. THIS MONTH FINALLY, THE PONTIAC GRAND AM WAS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM,,,,MY MODEL AND YEAR. NO ONE CAN TELL ME YET IF MY CAR IS OR IS NOT ONE OF THE CARS BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE RECALL...THIS RECALL IS ON THE PONTIAC GRAND AM 1999- 2005....MINE IS A 2003. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT IF THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THANK YOU *TR
