2005 Pontiac Grand AM

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE CENTER THEY CANT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MY IGNITION WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL SET OF PONTIAC KEYS FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

RIGHT NOW I CANT GET THIS FIXED, THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, THE FUEL LINE SHUTS DOWN AT ANY GIVEN RANDOM TIME. IM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CANT DRIVE, ITS UNSAFE. I WAS HOPING THE RECALL WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED DRIVETIME DEALER THIS MORNING NOV, 4TH, 2014 TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR A KEY AND WAS TOLD THEY CANT HELP ME, THE KEYS THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME ARE THE KEYS THEY HAD AT TIME OF SALE OF THE CAR, MY CAR WAS BOUGHT AT AN AUCTION SHE SAID....WHERE DO I GET THE MANUFACTURE ORIGINAL PONTIAC KEY FOR THIS VEHICLE, SINCE PONTIAC IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS? WOULD GM BE ABLE TO MAKE ME A KEY TO THIS CAR FROM THE VIN SO I CAN DRIVE IT?

WHAT IS YOU RECOMMENDATION ON MY CONCERNS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 50 MPH WHEN I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWING DOWN. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM IN THE PAST DAYS AND IT SEEMED TO COME OUT OF NOWHERE. THE CAR DID NOT STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKES SEEMED TO HAVE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN INCLUDING THE POWER BREAK. SO I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND MY CAR WAS TOTALED. SOME WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FOR MY CAR (RECALL 14350). IT STATES THAT IF I HAVE ANY WEIGHT ADDED ON TO MY KEY RING IT MIGHT MOVE MY KEY FROM THE "RUN" POSITION. BY THAT HAPPENING, MANY THINGS WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN. ONE OF THEM BEING THE POWER BRAKE. WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CRASH, AND IN MY CASE I WAS. IF I HAD BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THIS RECALL BEFORE I WOULD'VE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED ANY EXTRA WEIGHT ON MY KEY RING TO PREVENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THE LETTER ALSO STATES THAT MY DEALER WILL FIX THE DEFECT BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IS TOO LATE SINCE MY CAR IS TOTALED AND MY INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER THE DAMAGE. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO SINCE CLEARLY THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. *TR
