The car won't start security light flashes. I usually have to leave it in the on position for about 10 minutes then back to accessory for ten seconds then to on position for two seconds then mostly it will start other times it can take up to four attempts. From what I read online today this car is and has been a lemon from day one as soon as it rolled off the assembly line... I'll never buy Chevy again...

- West Minster, CO, USA

Follow-up on complaint# 10650094. I have researched this problem, and tried to get assistance from GM with no results other that the run-around. I have explained that the recall of this vehicle and repair that is suggested is not the issue. The ignition is a 2 part switch and the mechanical part of the switch is only part of the problem. The issue in my case is that the electrical part of the switch is what controls the power, brakes, airbag, and all other functions. You need to look at the entire switch assembly. The electrical part is what failed.

- Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

Hit a pot hole on the highway. Key fell out of the ignition, was able to retrieve the key off the floor and restart the car while driving. I think that my knee may have hit the key knocking it into the accessories position resulting in the key falling out of the ignition. I just left moran Chevrolet in clinton township, mi to have the ignition key recall fix. I notice the key can still be removed in the accessories position. In my opinion all the fix did for GM recall 14350 was add more weight to my key by putting a larger, heavier head on my key. NHTSA campaign number: 14V400000.

1.) I can remove the ignition key from the cylinder while the engine is running. When I turn key off and lock door, the lock pops back up because it not in the off position. I get back in and put the key in and turn to the left, even though the car is off, and I can now lock my door. I must always use emergency brake because I don't trust it not to roll when I get out. On 9/29/2014, NHTSA recall #:14V400 GM, recall #:N140350 completed but did not fix the problem. It did nothing that I can tell. " 2014-04-10 GM is aware of several hundred complaints of keys coming out of ignitions. Second repair added to vehicles recalled earlier detroit ?? General Motors informed the NHTSA today that it is adding ignition lock cylinders to its safety recall of 2.2 million older model cars in the United States. The cylinders can allow removal of the ignition key while the engine is running, leading to a possible rollaway, crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries. 2.) car takes a long time and many clicks to start. Turn key, clicking and dash and security lights flash but will not crank, you can turn it over until your fingers go numb, then after you have reach the point of screaming it cranks. Car started doing this just a couple of times a while back and as time went by it takes longer and longer to start or should I say it takes more clicks or many tries and then it will just turn over. The dealer started it faster when I had it in for the recall. 9/28/2014 22 complaints: 2000 Chevrolet Impala car won't start, clicking noise when try.. www.carcomplaints.com/Chevrolet/Impala/2000/electrical/car_wont_S...
