Key/Fob recall options
For me, I'd take the push button start/new fob and even pay a few bucks.

My dad's 2007 Corvette has push button start and it's a manual. Just press the clutch pedal and press the button.

I was wondering if I could go in and purchase 1 new set (1 key and 1 fob) that I could use if I needed to take the car into the dealership.... and keep my fobs safe at home. I have a long time to go on my warranty still.

I don't want to pay the extra for it, but if they want to upgrade me then I'd be willing to take the upgrade for free. Really the only complaint I have about the key fob is occasionally locking the car or popping the trunk from my pocket.

Voted "Want GM to Convert to Push Button Start/Real Fob (and willing to pay)". On another thread someone posted they received a GM survey...would they be willing to pay $150 to get a push button start. $150 sound reasonable for the upgrade. However, here in Canada they would most likely charge $200 or more and I would say no.
Also read on a thread (yes I have read every page of every thread regarding this issue) some people are receiving 2 sets of new keys w/new separate fobs, and can keep their existing switchblade key/fobs as well. Think this is the ideal solution. That way I could sign off the recall has been satisfied, but I still have the option of using my existing switchblade. Until GM offers a better solution then removing the key from my existing fob, "Not Changing/Will NOT sign waiver". |

You are thinking of remote start not push button start.

Poll results are very telling.
I HOPE SOMEONE AT GM IS SEEING THIS!

Minimum they could have done was provide a key with buttons on it (like the civics, accords, etc out there). You would think GM wouldn't cheap out for a car like Camaro.. but wow.. |

Has anyone actually bumped the fob with their knee? How long are your legs and how close are you sitting to the steering wheel for that to happen?

As a taller than normal person (7' tall), I'm yet to bump the key. Actually, once the recall discussions begun I tried to hit the key and I found it rather difficult to do in a manner that could actually turn the car off.
