SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ENGINE
AT APPROXIMATELY 4 PM I WAS DRIVING WITH THREE OTHER PEOPLE IN MY CAR ON THE STREET IN THE SOUTH SAINT LOUIS COUNTY(RAILROAD CROSSING WEBER RD AND CLOSE TO NEW HAMPSHIRE) AND WE WERE GOING ACROSS THE RAILROAD, WHEN ALL FUNCTIONS OF MY CAR DIED AND THE BRAKES .STEERING. ENGINE , ALL WENT OFF AND I GOT SCARED BUT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT I PULLED MY EMERGENCY BREAK AND PULLED THE CAR TO A STOP. ALL THESE HAPPENED ON A VERY WELL PAVED STREET., AND ALL HAPPENED JUST WHEN I CROSSED THE RAILROAD TRACKS. I WAS VERY FRIGHTEN AS WELL ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY CAR. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF THIS THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALLS THAT HAPPENED WITH GM IGNITION SWITCHES. I ALSO TALK TO MY FRIEND AND HE SAID THAT HE USED TO HAVE A CHEVY LUMINA 1995 AND SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM ON A HIGHWAY IN SOUTH SAINT LOUIS AND HE DID SAME THING AND NO ONE GOT HURT. WHEN WILL ANYONE CONTACT US THAT AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THESE TYPES OF CARS AND CHECK THIS OUT AND FIX THIS PROBLEMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER DRIVING, WHEN YOU GO TO TURN THE KEY/IGNITION BACK, IT ONLY TURNS BACK TO WHERE THE RADIO, LIGHTS, AND WIPERS STAY ON. THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN ALL THE BACK. ALSO, THEY KEY WILL COME OUT OF THE IGNITION IN ANY POSITION, EVEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST 2014 STATING THAT AS SOON AS PARTS ARE IN, I COULD GO AND GET THE KEY RING REPLACED,BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE NOTICE ABOUT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. I HAVE NEVER HAD MY CAR KEY ON A KEY RING, EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL. I ALSO READ ABOUT A RECALL ON IGNITIONS OF SOME CHEVY MODELS BACK IN JUNE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BECAUSE I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR OFF EVERY MORNING, OR AFTER LONG PERIODS OF TIME DUE TO THE IGNITION BEING STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION. THIS IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO KILL MY ALTERNATOR, AND WHATEVER ELSE CHOOSES TO GO NEXT. THIS TIME CONSUMING AND INCONVENIENT, AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING IS TOO DANGEROUS! PLEASE HELP! *TR
