Consumer Description

PLEASE HELP! MY KEY AND IGNITION ARE BURNING HOT, MY CAR DOESN'T ALWAYS START, THE POWER CUTS OFF, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AND WHEN I START IT IN THE MORNING THE EXHAUST IS SUPER STRONG. GM TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY A DEALER $110.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE CLEARLY DEFINED AND RECALLED IN 2003 BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR THAT RECALL. I BROKE MY NECK AND AM A SINGLE, DISABLED MOM OF A 12 YEAR OLD. I DO NOT WANT TO BE TRAPPED IN A FIRE OR REARENDED AND TOTALLY PARALYZED OR DEAD! WHAT THE HECK IS GM THINKING? THEY SAID THEY ONLY ACT ON RECALLS IF THEY COME FROM YOU! *TR
