Anyone get the recall done yet? I'd like to see pictures of this "fix".
That and they are giving out $25 gift cards to anyone who brings in their car before Jan, because so many people are not impressed with this "fix".

General Motors is offering $25 gift cards to owners of recalled vehicles to encourage them to visit their dealers and get defective parts repaired or replaced.
The company last week began sending notices to "several hundred thousand" vehicle owners, a company officer said.
The letters offer a $25 gift card to Starbucks, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Applebee's, Red Robin, AMC Theatres or Bass Pro Shops.
The letters are going to people who have received recall notices but have not had their vehicles inspected, said Ryndee Carney, GM's manager of cross brand communicatons.
"There are several hundred thousand people who have taken no action whatsoever," Carney said. "They haven't seen their dealers, even though they have been contacted by us repeatedly."

GM extends gift card deadline to Jan. 1
General Motors is extending the deadline until Jan. 1 on a $25 gift card offer to owners who have not responded to the recall of cars equipped with defective ignition switches.
The company has replaced the defective components on more than 1.2 million of the cars, mostly Chevrolet Cobalts, HHRs and Saturn Ions and Skys from model years 2003 through 2007. That's about half of the vehicles covered for the ignition switch recall.
As an incentive to those who haven't yet brought their cars to dealers, GM last month mailed letters offering a gift card to one of seven participating retailers if they brought the car in by Dec. 1. They now have an extra month.
"Dealers asked us to do that," said GM spokeswoman Ryndee Carney. Dealers were concerned that the earlier deadline could create a traffic crunch in their service departments.
Did any of you get a letter about this? I did not get and $25 offer.
