1 Ignition Switch problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2014

I received a set of from tiny keyrings ( gm## 23271934) to place on my rke transmitter to satisfy recall 14v394. Instead of replacing the perhaps defective ignition switch they sent me about a dime's worth of cheap key rings that will keep me from having my house key and other keys normally carried on the key ring. I would have to carry two key rings, one for the car and one for the rest of my keys. I find this unacceptable. If the ignition switch is defective and dangerous it should be replaced.

2 Ignition Switch problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2014

My 2013 Cadillac Cts was recalled for unintended rotation of the ignition switch. All that the recall required was to add a second small ring to the key and give me a paper telling me not to attach any thing to the key including the key fob. However, the dealer attached the key fob to the key. They just place the paper on my dash so I didn't read it till I was at home. I called the dealer service department and they said I should remove the fob. Is it acceptable the leave a defective part in a car and just tell you not to add anything to the key ring to try to prevent the problem from occurring?.
