2012 Chevrolet Captiva

THE KEY WILL NOT TURN TO OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. IT STARTED NOT TURNING TO OFF POSITION SOMETIMES BUT NOW IT IS EVERY TIME. MY DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE MODEL THAT I OWN, THE CHEVROLET CAPTIVA, 2012. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OTHER CAPTIVA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT THE SYSTEM ALSO MAY HAVE THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SWITCH OFF AUTOMATIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE STARTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. RECENTLY, THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO START UNTIL AFTER THE STARTER WAS KNOCKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE CONTACT PROBABLY RECEIVED A FAULTY STARTER. SINCE THE STARTER WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE MECHANIC STATED HE WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHEVY CAPTIVAS ONLINE TODAY AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER FOR WHY MY CAR DIED ON ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING HOME THIS EVENING. ONCE WAS ON A HILL TURNING ONTO THE ROAD BEFORE MY HOME AND THE SECOND TIME WAS PULLING INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR THERE WAS A CAR COMING OVER THE HILL I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. LATELY THE PARKING BREAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF, ALSO I'VE HAD TIMES WHEN I'D GO TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD ACT AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED A YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF AGO SO I DON'T SUPPOSE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS OFTEN FLICKER. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THESE PROBLEMS I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE CAPTIVA AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND I DON'T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT MY CAR DYING WHILE DRIVING THEM TO OR FROM DAYCARE AND SCHOOL AND US GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE EMERGENCY PARKING SIGNAL LIGHT WOULD SUDDENLY ILLUMINATE BEFORE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER JIM LUPIENT CHEVROLET LOCATED IN BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE REOCCURRED 2 MONTHS LATER. IN ADDITION, IN 2013 THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

MY 2012 CHEVY CAPTIVA SPORT SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT! MY RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, SO DOES MY A/C. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON, DIES COMPLETELY. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY QUITE A FEW TIMES WITHIN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY. WE TOOK IT IN TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH ENDED UP WITH ZERO RESULTS. SUPPOSEDLY THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES CANNOT BE FOUND. MY CAR HAS DIED OUT ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING! I NEED ANSWERS OR SUGGESTIONS A.S.A.P. GM IS NOT BEING COOPERATIVE. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY ONLY CAR!

MY CAPTIVA HAS APPROX 40,000 MILES ON IT, IT RANDOMLY WILL NOT START, THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I CALLED AAA, THEN WHILE WAITING FOR TRIPLE AAA, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT TURNED ON. IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, I CANNOT GET THE KEY OUT AND IT GETS STUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. ALSO, THE RADIO RANDOMLY DOESN'T WORK OR, RANDOMLY ALL THE STATIONS ARE CHANGED, THE REMOTE KEY OPENER DOESN'T WORK WHEN ALL THIS IS HAPPENING AS WELL. IN 2015 THE AC WAS NOT WORKING, IT TOOK THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS TO FINALLY FIX IT, THE BATTERY HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. THIS MORNING THE KEY GOT LOCKED IN, NEVER RETURNED TO BEING ABLE TO START. WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM I'M HAVING IT TOWED IN THEY SAID THE CAR HAS TO BE SHOWING THE "SYMPTOMS" BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, SO TODAY SINCE IT NEVER WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE KEY IS STILL STUCK IN IGNITION I AM HAVING IT TOWED IN. I'M ASSUMING ITS ELECTRICAL RELATED, I SURE HOPE THE AIR BAGS AREN'T AFFECTED BY ALL THIS, IT'S BAD ENOUGH NEVER KNOWING IF THE CAR'S GOING TO START OR NOT. *TR
