I got the letter, its sitting on my desk waiting to go into the trash
My Cruze has the same key and honestly I feel like it would be easier for my knee to hit the key in that car when compared to the camaro. |

Well, I plan to get 2 more blanks and have a locksmith or a car repair place do it.
About the whole recall deal-eo, well I was driving up to 98/mph, I still here. I have also done my fair share of spirited braking(mostly in 2nd). Not a darned thing! I didn't figure it was how tall you were, I believe it to be more spirited driving more than anything else. I plan to be a little more mindful of the key in the ignition from now on. They also told me that the part was in. Screw that! I'm more worried about the other two recalls, the recent seat bolt one and the usb convenience/device module one. I also saw the keyless entry fob for the '95 on ebay. Would I need to reprogram the fob? Thanks, Troy Lawson |

I just wanted to put this out there, a guy in our local club just picked up a 2015 and it has the same key fob. The dealership still seperates them as per the recall. I think it's absolutely atrocious that GM wouldn't even make a potential fix for the half @$$ed keyfob in a new year! It's ridiculous that they wouldn't have someone redesign the fob, or the ignition They could have easily put a locking ignition in and made you push the key in, in order to turn it.

The fix is SUPER CHEESEY! But what can I expect?? I was going to get it done but I'm not carrying a broken Fob as the repair. I just had my oil changed at the dealer and they didn't say a word. What next we'll be 3d printing new fobs???

At least give us a new case without the space missing! Seriously it's stupid. Or even a door key incase the battery dies. Make the negative into a positive |

I will probably get mine done. They have seen cases of the key causing a safety concern. Would hate to be the one in a thousand that has a problem, especially if wife or some one else is driving, would also have trouble living with any injury to other persons or vehicles. There is always the concern with the possibility of my auto insurance declining coverage for not participating in recall.
Of course it is up to the owner to decide if he will participate or not.

Those of you that are not concerned about your insurance denying a claim have yet to see how lawyers function, they do everything and anything to win a case, especially if a death is involved. Stay safe everyone.

I don't think the odds are anywhere near that high for good drivers, more like 1 in 100,000 perhaps, probably even lower than that. And then only a fraction of those people would panic and not know how to handle the situation, I would hope most of us would just restart the car and keep driving.

I tried to touch the key with my knee while driving, it was physically impossible for me to do this so they can go pound sand, I am keeping things the way they came from the factory.
One of the stupidest recalls I have ever seen.

I can touch the fob with my knee. I e tried and tried and can't turn it off...probably because I don't have a bunch of junk hanging off it.

I have never had a problem with the key but there is a You Tube video that shows how you can turn off the ignition with your knee if you try hard enough. My knee never get within 5" of the key. |

I didn't like the key in the fob. With respect to recalls, I figure better safe than sorry.
