    Exactly.. So set some money aside when it does happen and your be ok.


    I think most guys complain because there $2-3k car they brought blew it's tranny at 200k.... No **** what else do you expect. No transmission is bulletproof even the built ones go boom sometimes.

    Cheaper and mass quantity. You don't expect GM to remake parts because they added a SC. The pistons are plenty strong for most cars. The ones that chunks pistons... It's usually owners error.

    I dunno about any of the other cars, but I assume we won't get the recall because our ignition is high up on the dash, mounted perpendicular to the direction of travel. Unless you take a corner REALLY hard, your keys shouldn't swing hard enough to turn the ignition off, nor should your knees reach that high to bump the key.

    The lacrosses ignition is high up on the dash, same with the imp same spot as a GP for the most part. Its probably being done because it happened a few times and probably with people having way too much on the keys anyway.

    Same here... Car key, house key, and garage key.

    All my other keys are a separate keychain. i can't stand having a bunch of unnecessary keys on me especially when their in my pocket.
