My son was driving the car when it shut off in the road, could not restart it at all...no warning lights no nothing, just plain shut off. Luckily, no accident was involved and they were able to push it to the gas station where we had it towed and fixed......I have the receipt showing it was the ignition switch that went out and caused the car to stop. When contacting the recall people, they said it was not their problem and the car was already fixed. This is totally wrong....my car is on the recall list for ignition switch and they refuse to do anything to help me with this.

- New London, WI, USA

I attempted to start my vehicle when the key would not rotate to start. A few tries had gotten stuck and it was not allowing me to remove the key or start the car, or if it would start the key could easily be pulled out of ignition while in run position. Ultimately I had to replace the ignition tumbler and new keys. I have received recall for ignition problems with my year make and model. However I have been told that the repairs that I had to make do not fall under the recall, even though I had to replace the ignition tumbler and keys.

Well started when I first bought this stupid pos. Gas gage didn't ever work. I never know !much gas I've got. Then the ABS light started coming on flashing. Had it checked out by a mechanic but couldn't find anyway to fix it. The brakes then started in on me almost causing an accident but the other car didn't realize I had no way possible to stop. They just quit working no notice. I then lost the ability to roll down the back window then the door on the drivers side quit locking. To make things better the passenger front window quit and lock completely gone. Can't even unlock it with the key. Steering then started. Started hearing a big clunk when trying to turn the wheel and it started locking up. Now it's been less than six months since buying this car and it's immobile. I have sunk so much into it that I couldn't afford to pay my lot rent so it's drove me to be homeless trying to live out of this thing Chevy wants to call a car had to give my pride and joy my two children to my ex husband. I lost my job over not being able to get to work and late over car trouble. I've almost gave up on life and am currently sitting in this thing at a wal-mart with no way to pay to get it to turn left or right no way to repair it no way to pay for food or to replace this car. It's destroyed my lively hood as a woman and mother taking away everything I've worked so hard for in life. Once in a blue moon can ask for enough money to stay in a cheap motel(not any kids would be good in if my meaning is understood) to get a shower but that's as far as help can go.
