NHTSA Complaint #760150 — 1997 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

I GOT THE LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE IGNITION STARTER SWITCH THAT MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE. ON SATURDAY, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED, BUT DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL MONDAY WHEN I GOT THE LETTER FROM GM. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL JULY FOR THEM TO GET THE REPAIR KIT. IN OTHER WORDS... I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND FOR 3 MONTHS WORRYING ABOUT MY SAFETY AND WHERE I MIGHT BREAK DOWN. MY WIFE AND I WERE PLANNING ON DRIVING TO FLORIDA FOR 2 WEEKS AND NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO CANCELL. I THINK THEY SHOULD COMPENSATE ME WITH A RENTED CAR UNTIL THEY FIX MINE. IT'S LIKE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE AN OVEN THAT MIGHT GO ON FIRE IF I USE IT FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS. I WOULDN'T USE THE OVEN SO WHY WOULD I USE MY CAR. IT IS UNSAFE. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DOES CATCH FIRE OR CAUSE A FIRE TO SURROUNDING OBJECTS. HOW SAFE CAN IT BE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A CAR THAT MIGHT CATCH FIRE???? HEP ME!*AK
