    The ignition key would get stuck in the ignition. The only way i could get it out would be to repeatadly shift from park to drive or reverse until the key was released. *js

    Ignition

    I have been having problems off and on with the ignition, the key gets stuck in the ignition and i have to usually wait a few minutes and move the gears while in park to get the ignition to let go of the key. My worry is the fact that gm has recalls currently on ignition problems which have caused the vehicles to stop while driving. My vehicle although gm; is not currently on the recall list but it seems that this…

    Ignition

    I have a different type of ignition switch problem. I can't remove the key when the car is in park. This started maybe 1 year ago. I switched out keys (using my second key) and it worked fine until the last 2 months when the problem started again. It doesn't happen all the time. When it does, i have to turn on the ignition, put it in gear and drive forward a few feet and then put it in reverse and go back to where i…

    Ignition

    When i park my car i cannot get the key out of the ignition. I have to push the brake all the way to the floor and move the gear shift several times back and fourth before i can get the key out. It happens almost every day, every time i park the car. It is getting worse day by day and i am afraid that one day i will not be able to get the key out at all. I am unemployed at the present and cannot afford to have…

    I have owned this vehicle since 2009 and have had multiple issues, recurring frequently. The 2 main concerns are stuck key in ignition and stabilitrack and electrical malfunctions. There is a definite issue with the ignition in these vehicles, not only does my key get stuck, it has also been knocked out when hitting a bump. I own a cobalt too that has been recalled and my equinox has the same issues with ignition…
