I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 CHEVY COBALT. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS AND DEADLY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL UNTIL 3/28/14 WHEN I MOTHER TOLD ME OF IT. I IMMEDIATELY PHONED GM AND THE RESPONSE AFTER GIVING THE REP MY VIN WAS I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO TELL YOU BUT YES THERE IS A RECALL. I ASKED IF SHE WAS ABLE TO SHOW MY CAR WAS PART OF THE RECALL WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED IN THE MAIL. I INDICATED THAT THE CAR IS REGISTERED AND INSURED UNDER MY NAME ONLY AND THAT I HAVE PRESENTLY BEEN LIVING AT THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 7 YEARS. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I AM COMPLETELY APPALLED AS A CHEVY OWNER AS I HAVE ALWAYS TOLD PEOPLE CHEVY'S WERE A GREAT CAR TO OWN.
