Consumer Description

AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STOPPED DEAD IN THE INTERSECTION. WOULD NOT RESTART, COULD NOT BE STEERED AS THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE A "NEW" IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED. BUT NO NEW SHORTER KEY WITH A HOLE IN IT WAS GIVEN TO ME. HOW CAN I BE SURE THE NEW SWITCH WILL NOT MALFUNCTION. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE RECALLED VEHICLES. IF I HAD GONE TWO BLOCKS FURTHER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A BUSY MAJOR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. SO FAR NO RESPONSE FROM COMPLAINTS TO VARIOUS GM SOURCES. *TR
