OWNER SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE RELATING TO RECALL AND RECEIVED TWO NEW IGNITION KEYS. VEHICLE SEEMS TO START, SO FAR, JUST FINE. WITH ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEMS WITH OWNER VEHICLE, I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL OF THE TROUBLE, LOST OF WAGES, TOWING FEES, SERVICE REPAIR FEES, AND NOT TO MENTION STRESS OF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WITH GENERAL MOTORS KNOWINGLY PRODUCING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, AND IGNORING THE FACT THAT THE OWNER'S VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO OWNER, BUT STOOD BY AND DID NOTHING FOR THE THIRTEEN YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE IS REALLY A TRAVESTY. GM TOOK THEIR CHANCES HOPING THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY, BUT IT DIDN'T, PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES. OTHERS HAVE BEEN INJURED, AND OTHERS, SUCH AS MYSELF, HAVE LOST PIECE OF MIND AND CONFIDENT IN GM. I PAID NEARLY $30,000.00 FOR MY PONTIAC GRAND AM. I AM NOT SURE WHY ALL OF THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO STARTING THE VEHICLE OCCURRED. ONCE THE RECALL ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED, THE OWNER'S VEHICLE STARTS JUST FINE, SO FAR. *TR
