GM ignition switch recall???

[Irish_Alley]

its weird cause after the accident i was wondering why the air bags never went off. now i get the answer. at work they limit what you can bring in and how many keys. so it was car key,fob, house key and a little Mexican from the south of the border key chain. i think the Mexican broke the camels back

what i said happened to me is only speculation. i remember bits and pieces and smells but i think i had the sunroof cover on so it should of protected my head. i remember grass and mud on the side of my face, and i cracked a rib. but like i said this happened in 07 in 2011 we needed another car for our first born. i found ..... another 2004 impala ss lol. just like my old one

Well sorry to here all that. Sounds like a big wake up call for you for sure. Glad you found another ride and looks like you got your explanation.

[Irish_Alley]

no reason to be sorry gm didnt cause my car wreck nor did anyone on here. it was the raccoons and my need for speed. somehow i survived and was able to live a halfway normal life with a family i wouldnt trade for anything.

[LTZ C20]

Haha. I'll gladly blame the coons. Good to hear, we see how happy you are with your family. Hopefully one day I'll be able to share my family with you all. That is after I start one lol. The gf and I are too young at the moment, gonna be a few years.

its a heck of a lot better than going fast lol, yeah the first responder asked what happened i said "dang coons" he wasnt too amused. the best part was fighting with geico about how much they wanted to give me for my car. they screwed up cause they brought it to my house to save them (and me) money for storage. they wanted to give me trade in i told them its not worth that. the adjuster said "thats a common misconception, people think when they get their car totaled they get the full value. but all they get is trade in." i told him i wasnt trading it in and i want the full value. he left and made me wait, which wasnt hurting me cause i had the car on my property.

a week went by and they sent a tow truck to come get the car. i stopped him and talked to him and told him they weren't getting the car till they cut a check. he had no problem and left. took them a couple more weeks but i got the full value of the car

Nice. That's the way I look at it. If I'm gonna pay you to help me when there's an accident, your gonna help. Especially if I have multiple vehicles and other stuff all with the same company.

[Irish_Alley]

oh thats not the best part. i geico said i selected special option "K" on my insurance. i was said "ok? and what does that mean?" they said i had a 10k medical deductible. my jaw dropped i knew it was going to be bad, took a ambulance ride to the er they did a cat scan of my neck, stitched up my arm and ear and i had follow up doc appointments. my heath care wouldnt cover it cause they felt as another insurance company was responsible.

so 6k later i thought i would be ok and not pay the bills. well they took my credit of over 700 and dropped it to under 500. was able to get the emts to write off the ride but that was something like 600 but everyone else wanted their money. i told geico to send me a copy of my signature saying i opted for this special option k. after weeks of fighting with them they send me a blank application with no signatures. i called back and they kept blowing me off.  so now i have state farm

[LTZ C20]

Oh man ouch! Yea knock on wood, we have had USAA for years, they have been very good.

Stay away from Progressive if you don't want a similar experience that you got from Geico.

There is a reason these discount insurance companies can save you money on your premiums.

Oh, and spend as much time as you can with your kids.

One day you are teaching your oldest to ride a bike, the next day you're helping your youngest move into his college dorm........ask me how I know.
