"We're concerned about your safety, and you should put this at the top of your to-do list," she said.

More like don't want to pay someone else off.

GM has acknowledged knowing about the switch problem for more than a decade before it began recalling the cars in February.

Call them up and ask for it, they'll likely give you one.

Guess it's the next best thing, since you can't just recall all the careless drivers that put 10lbs of crap on their key chain.

I kinda want to send my car in now just for the $25 gift card lol but I've got a bad feeling about sending my car in. IDK why..

I'm still really surprised the 97-03 never got recalled. All the other w-bodys of similar years did.

Or the idiots that don't know how to react when their car stalls.

I'm still not taking mine in for the "fix." They want to give me two new keys and I will go in, but I refuse to go in to be given inserts for my current keys.

97-03 has a completely different ignition design that rarely if ever had problems. The electrical switch sometimes overheats and your hvac will get wonky but other then that it is a solid design.

early key's were small head units with the recessed ign collar had very little chance for the keychain to get the leverage to turn the ign witch where the later large head keys have plenty of leverage

 

[HighOctaneRacing]

Is there anyway you can bring the car in and get the fix then take the fix off? I just want the gift card lmao.

This is how I feel. The inserts make your keys look like **** and they say gm on it. I want Pontiac keys

Just wanted to let you all know from what gm dealership told me. 2 different recalls one for ignition switch and other is key insert. People who have the ignition switch will get a $25 gift card in mail not by dealership. People who have key insert get $0... Mine is the insert unfortunately : (
