I am sure you can make an appointment and drop it off the day before and pick up a loaner car. It was never a problem back when I was working. My dealer's service department is now open on Saturday too.

it's a safety recall. GM is damned if it doesn't. And in this case damned if they do lol. Imagine your SO or children need to use your car...Would you want them to have the recall done? It's your choice but everyone needs to chill out a little. Imagine the calls the dealers are getting and also the ones about what voids my warranty. Have to feel bad for these service writers lol...

No, because my children or SO wouldn't be orangutans so this wouldn't be an issue.

Much easier for me to do on a 2014 Silverado though. Didn't take much effort at all. Did it in one try. Hopefully we dont get a key like the Silverado.

RECALLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME! You can probably do this in every car on the market that has a key.

This is probably true.

It's easier to use your hand
They should make a car never turn off once you buy it so you don't accidentally die.

precisely what I said when they issued the first recall on the compacts.

Too much stuff hanging on your ignition or smacking it with your knee is going to be possible in any vehicle... I don't see how that's the manufacturers responsibility, used to be common sense. If these issues are now a "defect" expect every vehicle ever built to be recalled eventually.

I got in my car and tried to knock the key to the run position intentionally with my knee. I am 5'11 and had no success. I was talking to my service advisor and he said the steering colomn needs to be at the lower setting and the seat needs to be in the more forward position to have a better chance of knocking the key. So unless you are a bit shorter or like to drive with your knees around your ears you should be pretty safe to use the switchblade style key. My right leg is never bent while I drive anyway. It's mostly straight from trying to push the accelerator through the fire wall! Lol

We're pretty PO'ed about the recall issue. We bought a Crystal Red RS last Saturday and were told there was a recall, but it was only a key issue and not a big deal. We were supposed to pick it up this Monday and got a call that morning and were told they can't release it and don't know when GM will let them. This car replaces a Mazda which was totaled by the insurance company and our rental car has to be returned this Monday and we'll be without a vehicle.

If you have already purchased the car, insist that the dealer give you a loaner (FREE) until you can take delivery of the car. That seems AT LEAST fair.

When will manufacturers realize to just install push to start buttons in all vehicles?

Problem solved.

Not going to get my key changed. Either push button or leave it alone.
