Stupid recall. I continue to throw the recall reminders in the trash when they show up.

PeteD · 10-02-2019, 07:42 PM

Why was this moved? It is not a thread really about the recall. But rather the stupidity that is going on with GM and just another one of their blunders.....

Been using the switchblade key since day one, not about to stop.

Rob10CamaroSS · 10-02-2019, 08:01 PM

Agreed, 2 Gen 5's in and no way I would ever give up my switch blade key. I'm short @5.6 and I drive with the seat pretty far back, I couldn't imagine any driving position (or situation) that would put my legs anywhere near hitting that key EVER.

(ok maybe If i was 40 yrs younger and doing a fat chic in the front seat at highway speed,

)

Like you I will not relinquish either of my key fobs. I have met the requirements of the recall, gave me two keys, one to be placed beside each fob. Was to use the keys not the switch blades. I removed the keys and placed them on the key rack to collect dust.

I am 6.0' tall and over 200 with my seat down and back somewhat. NEVER has then been an issue. If my knee hits the ignition that means I have just been involved in a bad crash.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I have tested both of my key fobs. Car running I give a gentle tug on the fob trying to release it, never once.

I think this is more f0r the people that have 5 pounds of keys and junk hanging off the fob. I cant believe how much stuff people put on them. Whats next, they hang their phone on the keys?

FrankT · 10-03-2019, 04:53 PM

I think this whole recall was a knee-jerk reaction by Mary Barra after the defective ignition switch debacle on another model. GM can send me as many emails and postcards as they want to, I am not going to participate in this recall.

I just bought a new f-150...it came with switchblade keys....I still have my originals that came with my SS too

lemontwist · 10-04-2019, 10:35 PM

i have 4 of the fob blade keys.....they will have to pry them from my cold dead hand

0stones0 · 10-05-2019, 07:12 AM

When I picked up my ride last spring, the first key I was handed was one with the switchblade removed. Great, I thought, lost that feature. The “spare” key was still intact! Guess which one I use?
