ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

I HAVE A TWO DOOR GRAND AM AND BOTH WINDOWS ARE MESSED UP WHERE THEY WILL NOT POWER UP OR DOWN. THIS HAS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED TO ME WHERE A PLASTIC BRACKET SNAPPED OFF INSIDE THE DOOR CAUSING THE WINDOW TO NOT WORK. THE WINDOW IS OFF THE TRACK AND SOMETHING IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC GRAND AMS. IT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BUT GM HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL ON IT. I FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN'T USE EITHER WINDOW, DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE, IN MY CAR.
