This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Key stuck in accessory position, unable to remove key. Brought car to dealer, ignition lock cylinder needed replacement, not covered under extended warranty, (for which we paid extra). Replacement cost $294 (with a small courtesy discount) and no guarantee of problem not reoccuring. This certainly is not a usual problem and not the first exact same complaint logged with NHTSA-how many more are needed to realize there's a problem" also, how many have had this problem, but do not know about this Agency or how to get the info to you"
Ignition key gets stuck in ignition switch. Car may be in accessory use or completely off but key remains. At times the key can't be removed easily and must be left in the car. Dealer indicates that this is a common problem but is not a saftey issue, which can't be true. If the car can't be completely turned off there is a fire safetlt issue. Cost of repair is $390. Chevy should pay for the new ignition switch ($189) as it is obviously a pervasive failure mechanism.
Key could not be released from ignition switch. Key will not turn into the locked position to be released. Dealer notified, and unable to fix due to lack of parts. Feelfree to provide any further details.
