let me get this straight,,, pontiac/gm is NOT replacing the faulty ignition SWITCH, they are ONLY REPLACING THE KEYS??? how exactly is this going to fix the problem again?? are they extra special lightweight keys?? are they serious?? and theese dumbarses want us to buy a car from them?? were any of their mechanics included on this discussion...SO IF I USE A DIFFERENT KEY THE SWITCH WONT BE DEFECTIVE ANYMORE??? WHAT KIND OF LAWSUITS CAN WE BRING ON THEM FOR DOING A RECALL AND NOT REALLY FIXING THEIR PROBLEM, AND PEOPLE KEEP DYING?? maybe if they remove the leather from steering wheels their power steering recall will be fixed also!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
