I purchased a 2001 GMC Jimmy. Problem is ignition lock. Key stays in lock, have to fiddle with ignition move car, turn wheel to find just the right place. Thought just my car, but have seen others with same problem, local dealer said can fix for about 100 dollars they never looked at vehicle. Was told by GM on phone to push button on column to get key out, I don't have one was told book shows one any suggestion the vehicle fits my needs was really super low miles.
The dash lights were on as if car was not running but car was running. All gauges would not work. This was intermittent. The key could not be removed from the ignition during one of these instances. Dealer replaced ignition switch.
On going problem with ignition switch going bad, had two replaced within 36,000 miles and now at the present mileages of 44,000, the problem with hesitation and the dash board lights going out momentary while driving have re-occured again. Dealer and the manufacturer have been notified.
