Ignition is a BIG issue but GM has owned up to it. There are a couple of other manufacturers with the same problem but not as huge as GM.
Never heard that keys fall out of the ignition.
The issue is not that they've "owned up to it", but rather the very long (10 years to travel) roundabout road they were dragged down before they came clean. Anyone who thinks GM is an honorable corporate citizen in this society is only fooling themselves.
I have tried but an unable to find that GM has had an issue with keys FALLING out of the ignition that you and Superduty123 mention.
From July: Chrysler said Monday that it is adding about 696,000 minivans and SUVs to a 2011 recall to fix faulty ignition switches.
The latest recall covers some Dodge Journey SUVs and Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan minivans from the 2007 to 2009 model years. Most were sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Chrysler recalled 196,000 Journeys, Caravans and Town & Countrys in March of 2011 because the ignition keys could unexpectedly move from "run" to "accessory" and shut down the engine.
I know that GM's recall was irresponsible and millions more than Chrysler but I suspect that more recalls from manufacturers will be occurring because, as someone else stated, so many of the parts are interchangeable among car companies.
