I would say get it replaced. I did not have any problems with my 09 for 250,000 miles and then a couple of days ago it happened without any warning.

I got my letter for the '10SS in Wednesdays mail, called Cecil Clark Chevrolet 8:30 this morning. They had the part in stock and said come on down. Dropped it off at 10:30 and it was ready at 12:40. Car was running great before but I had it done anyway since I didn't want to risk having an episode with it. The keys remain the same before and after. Get it done and have peace of mind. Usually, when you turn the key on you hope it will start, we shouldn't have to worry if it will stop when we turn the key off !

Thanks for advising guys,I'll get it changed out. I just hope they identified the problem and they're replacing it with an improved switch and not the same part hoping for the best.

Yesterday I stopped at Suburan Auto Group in Sandy, OR to talk to the Service Department about changing out the switch, I have to say what a helpful & nice group of people & since it was close to 5:00pm the Service staff was leaving for the day a group of them walked over & were checking out the Panel, maybe they hadn't seen one before.

My '08 has been acting up. Put the key in, won't turn. Jiggle the steering a bit, sometimes frees it up. Are these the symptoms? Anyone know if the recall includes the 08?

I would work with it myself, until it freed itself.
