Sorry, but I don't buy this key issue. First I guarantee not one of these vehicles turned off on there own with the keys that came equipped with the vehicle. Not going to happen. Is it GM's fault that these idiots added 5 extra pounds of******to the key chain? No it is not. I also would not expect a key switch to last 10 years. Great if it does, but not something I would expect.
Secondly, I have yet to ever see a vehicle that if it was powered off, I could not steer or stop with the brakes.
People need to be accountable for their own stupidity.
I guess drivers of other makes(Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, etc.) don't have extra keys on their key chains.
And the demographics of the people that drive the Cobalts are generally younger; 25 and under and therefore less experienced drivers. So when the car turns off at 55 mph, these inexperienced drivers don't have the wherewithall to know how to keep the car under control.
How many ignition switches have you had to replace in all the cars/trucks owned. I've never had to and I don't know anyone that has either.
