The ignition key can not be removed after putting the vehicle in park and shutting it off. Many attempts are required to jiggle the shifter switch/steering column/key before it will release on most occasions. This is a common issue, going back years, to 2015. How can it still not be resolved? The safety issue here is one of having your vehicle stolen because you are forced to leave the key in the ignition for all to see; or owners are choosing to disable the steering lock prevention altogether, which has its own set of dangers. GM needs to solve and fix this. So far it sounds like they don't even understand the real problem.

My 2020 Colorado has a sloshing sound coming from passengers front going towards back when accelerating. Also the truck has been going out of alignment since the day I got it. Dealer claims 'rear thrust angle not aligned from factory' every month I have been back to get it realigned
