TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO REMAIN IN THE IGNITION. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE IGNITION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
THE GM "FIX" FOR THE IGNITION ISSUE IS TO REPLACE KEYS SO THAT NOTHING CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE KEY, INCLUDING NOT EVEN THE FOB, THE "FIX" IS NOT TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART TO THE IGNITION. I'VE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2006 AND DRIVEN IT ALL THIS TIME WITH A LOT OF OTHER KEYS AND THE FOB ATTACHED. DURING THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION. I THINK THERE MAY BE AN ENGINEERING OVERSIGHT: IT STANDS TO REASON THAT HAVING USED THE KEY WITH THE WEIGHT ATTACHED FOR 8 YEARS PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WORN THE INTERNAL CONNECTIONS BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF THE INSERTED KEY. IT ALSO SEEMS REASONABLE, THAT NOW HAVING A KEY THAT IS LIGHT WEIGHT BEING INSERTED INTO THE SAME CHAMBER AS THE HEAVILY WEIGHTED KEY, WILL MEAN THAT THE NEW KEY WON'T FIT OR MAKE THE PROPER CONNECTION IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE...
