What owners wrote
Vehicle was taken to dealer for recall# 02v070000 subject: electrical system: ignition switch. After the repair, ignition short circuited,causing a fire in the dashboard.
Vehicle continually refuses to start due to pass lock and leaves us stranded. Dealer replaced ipc and ignition switch twice, but problem remained. Spent $1000, and its still the same. Reading all the same problems with various GM vehicles showing, there should be a recall.
