thinking about going in for the ignition recall? think again
thinking about going in for the ignition recall? think again Took my car down to the dealer today for recall 14291 headlamp driver module, and recall 14350 for the ignition recall. This is what they give me back.
****** glue everywhere, thing is falling out. What a ****** joke. I already filed a complaint with GM customer care but I doubt ill get anywhere.

Two rings is forbidden, hence the recall 
. I did it awhile ago, its a joke. My 04 has the front valve cover recall due, GM will discard my engine cover if I leave it on when bringing it in so thats not happening . You got robbed on the relay, and I would ask them to show me which one was replaced.

I guess by federal regulation they have to replace it because headlights are part of the safety system. States intermittent failure because of under hood temps and the part was not designed to tolerate the added heat. Some of them though if you google have actually caught fire. lol It's a 130 dollar relay too.

They did the same thing to the key for my imp and it too is disgusting. They should have replaced the key to one with a circular hole instead of butchering the one I had. Luckily have 3 more keys. I also have a 99 alero with the same key recall and after the hack job on my imp key, I don't think I will take the alero one. BTW, they are calling my house now about the recall. They should really take care with their "repairs" if they are to be taken seriously. I'm sure the keys are inexpensive to them and is what they should have done instead of ruining the key I had. Looks like it was made by a toy company now and by a dollar store at that......nice after spending 30k for the car.

When the key is broken so a ring won't stay on it we use a cover. Otherwise we just put the inserts in. Sometimes they fit perfect, other times they don't. Gm isn't gonna pay for new keys on all these vehicles, so it is what it is.
Are you saying that it was ok for the dealership to give spawne32 his key back looking like it does? His key looks like a**! Sometimes "it is what it is" isn't, or shouldn't be.
The last time a dealership told me "it is what it is" was after they had replaced my $45K Ram's ball joints under warranty twice. I came in a third time and my warranty had just expired.
Sorry, "it is what it is".
Two week's later, and a call to the dealership from the Vice-President of Customer Relations and I received the replacement, upgraded ball joints (installed) at no cost.
Spawne32,
Keep at them. They will normally fix the problem rather than face the bad publicity they get from ignoring it.
