5 Ignition Switch problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2006

Who are we kidding with this recall? (NHTSA 14v355, gm 14299) correcting a faulty ignition switch with an extra key ring and a paper to add to the owner's manual is a lawyer's solution. Is this a design defect, or is it not? why is it not adequate? 1) it does not insure that the weight of the keys will not cause shutdown. It only makes it a little less likely. 2) in a year's time, even the current owner's will have forgotten the solution. Even if it's in the car's manual, does anyone ever actually read the manual end-to-end?. Let alone rereading it regularly to refresh their knowledge? it's only there, if at all, for reference. 3) how many second owner's even get the manual? how many will get keysets with the extra ring? my experience is few, if any, subsequent owners will have any reminder of this recall. Let's get serious and be responsible. If there is a design or manufacturing safety defect, then fix it! deflecting liability to the owner is horse-pucky!.
