a fools-goldmine then...
Since it's been about a month now I figured I'd ask if anyone has even seen what the new key looks like for our cars?
I haven't even received a notice yet.
I bet if you took it to a dealer they still wouldn't have info on it.

Received my recall notice today for my 2007 Grand Prix. Said to remove everything from key ring immediately including key fob!
Call now, schedule appt. for after October 1 when "parts" will be available. May need to drop car as it may take longer than the 15 minutes needed for repair. Funny.
Lmao i probably got one in the mail as well back in FL but seeing as the vehicle hasn't registered again and that I haven't been back in awhile I'll wait till I get back and get it sorted out then.
The keys didnt change, they actually use the SAME key.Quote:

The total cost of the recall on the slip it said was .75. They paid, but for real GM??? Is this really the fix to your huge problems? The cheapest and easiest way out i suppose. Will post pictures tomorrow night of my key set. Its really a lol moment.
If they are not replacing the key I am not even going to go in once I get the notice.
FWIW though my sister in law got her recall on her G5 and the dealer replaced her keys entirely.
Hmm, i have to see what happens, but im positive they didnt do my key, as they said here is the set for your second set of keys, they would of said to bring that key in aswellQuote:

i ****ing knew it.
quicksteel and a single small ring...hmmm figures
Still waiting lol
had a 99 sunfire where the ignition went from too much sh*t on it, luckily i had parked my car at my gfs at the time, then when i went to leave it wouldnt roll over, so bought a used steering column for $125 was cheaper than a new ignition from canadian tire or gm :P
