2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/12/2014

I once owned the chevy Malibu. Incidents happened in the past. Three times when I hit a bump my car shut down. I brought it to davidson Chevrolet in malden mass. They could not find the cause of the problem. Someone did suggest that I remove extra stuff off my keyring. I nolonger own this car. I am writing to you because it sounds similar to what is happening with the chevy cobalt ignitions. From my experience, I feel that your current recall may not be reaching as far as it should.
