2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). WHILE ENTERING A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. IMMEDIATELY, THE KEYS FELL FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT STRUCK A BED OF ROCKS, WHICH PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING INTO THE HOUSE. THE IGNITION SWITCH SEIZED AND PREVENTED THE KEY FROM BEING INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE OF $300, INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR, AND AN ADDITIONAL $12 FOR A NEW SET OF KEYS FOR THE REPLACEMENT IGNITION SWITCH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HIT A POT HOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION, WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE KEY OFF THE FLOOR AND RESTART THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. I THINK THAT MY KNEE MAY HAVE HIT THE KEY KNOCKING IT INTO THE ACCESSORIES POSITION RESULTING IN THE KEY FALLING OUT OF THE IGNITION. I JUST LEFT MORAN CHEVROLET IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI TO HAVE THE IGNITION KEY RECALL FIX. I NOTICE THE KEY CAN STILL BE REMOVED IN THE ACCESSORIES POSITION. IN MY OPINION ALL THE FIX DID FOR GM RECALL 14350 WAS ADD MORE WEIGHT TO MY KEY BY PUTTING A LARGER, HEAVIER HEAD ON MY KEY. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V400000. *TR
