So I got an interesting thing in the mail due to my utter procrastination. An offer for a 50$ gift card if I get the recall done. I know I'll get flamed for not having it done yet, but my car currently has enough problems that I'm rolling with that I plan to hash out first. And it's not my current daily anyways. Just thought the updated incentive was somewhat humorous

 

Not bad I got a 25$ gift card when I did mine

 

They're not touching my ignition, it's never shut off no matter what kinds of bumps I hit

 

Mine never did either but I got it done, the 25 where nice plus it only took one day dropped it off in the morning got it in the afternoon

 

My car never had the issue either so I never worried about it.

 

It's happened to me once a couple years ago. I was going 70 in the #2 lane of a 4 lane freeway in the middle of a wide curve in a hilly area with 3 feet between the fog line and curb.
I forgot what I was doing but I somehow knocked the key with my hand and shut the car off so I had to jump across 2 lanes at a pretty busy time >.>

 

Yeah i got it the mail yesterday. Im still not taking it in anytime soon 25 didnt get me to so i doubt 50 will lol, i took my key of the key chain a long ago. So there is 95% its not gonna break since there is nothing pulling on it over bumps etc. I might take it in this winter if its a rainy week or somthing. Might. Lol

 

Hold out for 500

 

I got the same thing. I'm not even worried about the switch

 

My procrastination has paid off!

 

that's what im saying. lol

ive only had it happen to me 1 time in the 8 years that ive owned my car. that was when I hit a pavement transition that was like 3" on a road trip. the ignition cutting off was the least of my worries though. I was afraid the suspension was gonna break

 

I had that happen with my LT, i was more afarid of a hole in the oil pan or something of that nature

 

was your lt an auto? I have wondered if you have to come to a stop, put it in park and restart, or if you can restart while rolling

 

It was an auto and I stopped the car then restarted the car

 

You have to pop it in neutral, re-start then put it back in drive. Its not the smoothest transition back to drive but once in a great while isn't going to grenade a transmission.

 

I got nothing they did it without asking when it was in for the shift cables being frozen

 

Holding out for gm to accept cobalts as a automatic trade in credit of 15k... With the condition of buying a new gm vehicle of course

 

What is the gift card for? Like a Visa gift card?

 

They let you pick I got mine for walmart

 

I'm waiting for them to offer me one then I'll get it done.

 

I've gotten offered plenty of cards, I'm all too familiar with "techs" who do recalls at dealerships. They will never touch my car.

Only had mine turn off once but I was hitting the side of my dash by the radio cause a cd was stuck in there lol. Accidentally hit the key on the back swing. Luckily I was just crusing on the highway so it was easy enough to restart
