actually there were a few deaths related to this recall. which is why they started it. BUT apparently the parts are delayed due to them coming from China.

Nah, It's all of those renegade gas guzzling Camaro owners we're after.

I'm 5'11", and my seat placement puts my knee directly under the ignition. I'm not close to the steering wheel at all. Without the key chain, my knee isn't remotely close to the FOB. That's why I think the culprit is what people have attached to the FOB, not the FOB itself.

That's not what GM is saying...

I think people start threads about something that's been beat to death, and consolidated about 30 times just because they need attention.

I don't think they are going to change the ignition switches, just the keys, they will still be coded to your existing switch.

I think it's retarded! My knee doesn't even come close to the keys!

Fire hazard. I'm afraid we'll have to replace your entire fuel tank with the new and improved recycled plastic version.

You can rest easy though as it's ozone safe.

My dealer rep informed me today that they had a second briefing on this and it may also involve the switch tumblers. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
