Received original notification of Chevrolet recall several months ago, scheduled for repair, and took vehicle in to have recall performed and advised they could not do it. Have received several notifications that correct I the repair has not been completed and have scheduled the vehicle 2 more times for repair to be told they do not have parts. Contact with Chevrolet has been lees than cooperative. Total of 3 times they have not been able to perform the required recall repairs.

I own a 2007 chevy Cobalt included in the nationwide recall. I have been trying for months to have this car' ignition switch replaced in accordance with the recall, however both chevy and the local dealer, ed morse Chevrolet have been uncooperative in replacing the ignition switch, providing a date the part will be available or provide a loaner vehicle. I have called and spoke with both gm and ed morse numerous times, however each time met with the same old, stock answer - that it's "ok to drive as long as all other keys/fobs are removed". This answer is not sufficient for me nor will I accept driving the car "as safe". The car, over the years was driven with up to 15 keys on the ring, so whatever damage to the ignition switch occurred, is still present and poses risk at current. I am asking your agency to intervene in this matter. I have put excess miles and wear and tear on my primary car and will incur an additional financial burden since this 2007 Cobalt is sitting idle. Neither gm or ed morse Chevrolet has or will step up to the plate and assist in this matter. I trust your department will assist in my issue. Thank you.
