I took my car into john hall Chevrolet on 5/19/2017 to have the ignition recall done. Prior to my taking it there I was experiencing several issues with my car that no single diagnostic could quite pinpoint. Needless to say I replaced several things yet to no prevail. The car would just stop running luckily before I reached over 10 mph and on several occasions while trying to turn in traffic I lost power steering. All while the key was in the on position. Finally a more updated sensor scanner detected an electrical issue within the ignition itself. When I went to the dealership I was told they would only do what the recall required them to do. Even though I told them what it was doing and asked if they could check to make sure I didn't have to worry about leaving there and the car shutting off and /or no power steering I was told no . I would have paid to know,to have them scan it, whatever. Needless to say after they fixed their part the car is still doing the same thing. Even when the man brought me my car I asked how did she start? he said not good and walked away. Also I left them with 1 key shouldn't there have been something done to both? my car may be old but she's been well maintained . Great strong motor and alot of new parts. The starter and fuel pump were pretty much wrecked by the little electrical issue within the ignition. Confused and overheated simply trying to start the car and hope it stays running. It's that electrical issue that keeps saying yes enough voltage then nope can't have it. It's been proven not only by scanning but by reading and testing .
