Consumer Description
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF AFTER THE DEALERSHIPS FIXED THE DEFECTIVE KEY SLOTS OF COBALTS AND OTHER CARS, MANY PEOPLE HAD THEIR WIRING SYSTEM MESS UP ONLY TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHARGE YOU FOR FIXING UP THE WIRING THAT LED FROM THE KEY SLOT ( WHERE YOU INSERT THE KEY TO START THE CAR) DOWN TO WHEREVER IT GOES. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. ABOUT A MONTH TO TWO MONTHS LATER ( I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND CHECK) AFTER THEY FIXED THE KEY SLOT MY CAR JUST WENT DEAD AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE WIRING FROM THE KEY SLOT FROM THE IGNITION TO WHEREVER IT LEADS AND THAT THEY HAD TO CHANGE IT AND WHEN I TRIED TO TALK TO THE MANAGER ABOUT IT I NEVER GOT THROUGH TO HIM ON HIS PHONE, HE NEVER ANSWERED HIS CELL PHONE AND WASN'T AT THE OFFICE AND I JUST GAVE UP ON IT. SO MY QUESTION IS DID OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID WHERE THEY HAD TO PAY FOR WIRING THAT I THINK WAS PART OF THE SAME THING THAT THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAD RECALLED TO FIX. IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT; THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION KEYS, THAT COULD ACCIDENTALLY JUST TURN YOUR CAR OFF AND YOU WOULD HAVE TROUBLE STEERING THE CAR'S STEERING WHEEL AS THE CAR WAS OFF. SORRY, IF I AM NOT BEING SPECIFIC ENOUGH, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD ABOUT HAVING TO FIX THE WIRING AND PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES AS I BELIEVE IT WAS THEIR NEGLIGENCE OF HANDLING THE WIRING SYSTEM. I AM NOT SURE ON THE DATES AS I AM NOT LOOKING UP THE INFORMATION, I AM JUST APPROXIMATING AND I AM NOT SURE HOW TO SEND THIS INFORMATION AS I AM NOT COMPUTER LITERATE.
