Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This appears to be a common problem. i found many people with the same problem i have and we are screaming for a recall. the ignition switch will go from the "on" position to "off", but will not any further. therefore, i cannot remove the key from the switch. it does not always do this, but it is becoming more frequent. i can usually leave the key in for a while and when i return, the switch will rotate and the key will come out. this is very frustrating. any help is appreciated! one person says: i'm having the same problem with mine. is your problem intermittent? mine is, started one day and works off and on, whenever it feels like it really, works more in warm weather than cold weather. it's weird. my two thoughts are either a loose connection (ground or otherwise) or maybe the btsi solenoid at the shifter base. and the only recall that is current is one for the envoy, trailblazers where you disable the shifter and column over ride feature. please help us - this is very upsetting and i am tired of wondering if day to day the key will come out of the ignition. *jb |
