I remember the switch assembly being mounted on the column years ago. I hated replacing them, because you had to drop the entire assembly onto the seat to get your hands in far enough to get the old one out and new one in. I can see why that assembly could cause a problem.

I know they were a bear to change years ago, don’t know if they’ve gotten any easier, probably not.

Just out curiosity, must a product prevent every form of misuse & abuse before it is considered alright to market? The prudent man theory seems to have been replaced by the perfect man theory, induced by blood sucking attorneys.

I wish GM had gone bankrupt and been acquired by Hyundai. Hyundai used to make terrible cars, but the company was turned around when a new CEO fired thousands of bean counters and hired thousands of engineers and implemented a rigorous quality control program. GM’s modified key slot fix was certainly not based on any engineering know how.
