GM DEALER WAS CONTACTED WITH RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE IN LAST WEEK OF MAY 2014. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE PART WOULD BE ORDERED, WE WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST, AND THEN CALLED WHEN THE REPAIR WAS SCHEDULED. TWO MONTHS HAVE NOW PASSED WITH NO IDEA FROM THE DEALER WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE OR WHEN THIS SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE CORRECTED. I FEEL LIKE I AM SITTING ON A TICKING TIME BOMB EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR AND THAT GM ISN'T REALLY THAT CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME IS THAT THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR AND MY SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE IS NOT NEAR AS IMPORTANT AT THAT OF ONE I LOVE VERY DEARLY. IT IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM WOULD DRAG THEIR FEET ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT BE RESPONSIVE IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHEN THIS IGNITION RECALL WILL...

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS FOR PARTS TO REPAIR MY 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT IGNITION SWITCH. MEANWHILE, I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN UNSAFE FOR YEARS UNTO MY KNOWLEDGE. I FEEL AS THOUGH GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COMPENSATE OWNERS WHO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES AND WAIT EXTREMELY LONG UNSAFE TIME PERIODS FOR RECALL REPAIRS TO BE MADE. KNOWING FOR 10 YEARS ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM AND DOING NOTHING IS SIMPLY CRAZY AND UNJUST. *TR
