This massive recall on some GM models that have problems with their ignition switch is very interesting.
However, my wife and I have owned 2 first gen Cobalts and a first gen HHR and never had an issue.
Whatever happened to learning how to drive a car over to the shoulder if it dies or something goes wrong?
Yes the deaths are a tragedy. Yes someone's head needs to roll for them.
BUT... just by observation of today's drivers and numerous so-called key rings I've seen in the general public, basic driving skills are non-existant and there's no need for 30 keys, a teddy bear, an iPod, a make-up compaq, a garage door opener, nail clippers, pocket knives, etc to be on one key ring.
Seeing the lack of any driving skills and these monstrous "key rings" in public and seeing how much they weigh, it's a little much to be asking an ignition switch to hold 5 pounds of junk and keep the key/switch in the ON position.
I have 3 keys on mine... house key, lock box key, and lock-out/tag-out key for work. My wife has 2... house key and lock box key.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
