TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT TURN PAST THE ACCESSORY POSITION.

I CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE SUV AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. AT FIRST I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE SUV BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. IT HAS BEEN WORST LATELY. AS I FILL OUT THIS COMPLAINT , THE KEY IS STILL STUCK IN THE IGNITION, SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO STEAL MY CAR, THEY COULD. THE SUV JUST TURNED 56000 MILES. GM NEED TO FIX THIS, AS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH THE CAPTIVA, BUT OTHER GM MODELS AS WELL. I HAVE HAD TO SIT IN MY CAR FOR ALMOST AN HOUR BEFORE THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED A GM VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL,

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT TURN BACK PAST ACC. THIS REQUIRES THE OPERATOR TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF COUNTLESS TIMES, LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING ETC, BECAUSE THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. ENGAGING THE SHIFTER AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT SEND A 'SIGNAL' TO LET THE KEY RELEASE.

WHILE DRIVING LOST SUDDENLY LOST MOVEMENT , MADE IT INTO A DRIVEWAY AND LOST ALL GEARS. UNDERNEATH WAS A HUGE PUDDLE OF FLUID. THE FITTING FROM THE TRANSMISSION LINE TO THE COOLANT BLEW. THIS HAPPENED ON 2/4/2017 IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERS SINCE 2/6/2017 AND ITS NOW 2/17/2017. THEY SAY THE PARTS ON BACK ORDER...ITS A FLIPPIN HOSE COME ON! NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING OUT BY 2/21/2017. MEAN WHILE I HAVE NO VEHICLE. GM SOUNDED HELPFUL TIL WHEN WE CALLED THEM BACK WHEN THEY TOLD US TO AND NEVER GOT BACK TO US.THE 2014 CHEVY CAPTIVA SPORT IS A FLEET VEHICLE, WHY THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH NOT HAVING THE HOSE IS BEYOND COMMON SENSE TO ME. IF ANYTHING THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE THE PART ON THE READY. IT WOULD BE NICE IF GM OR THE DEALER COULD COMPENSATE BY GIVING US A LOANER...BUT NOOOOO. ONE ON IS WILLING TO WORK WITH US. WE DID EVRYTHING THAT WE COULD DO....DID ALL OUR CHECK UPS AND MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE WE'RE SUPPOSE TO AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET. GOT THE EXTENDANT WARRANTY AND ALL. FOR WHAT...?

WHEN IN PARK, THE KEY STICKS IN THE IGNITION DUE TO FAILED SHIFTING FUNCTIONALITIES. I CANNOT REMOVE MY KEY AND THE BATTERY DRAINS COMPLETELY DUE TO THE DASH LIGHTS AND OTHER SYSTEMS BEING ACTIVATED BY THE KEY'S PRESENCE IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE KEY CAN BE MANUALLY RELEASED BY PRESSING A SWITCH UNDER THE PLASTIC COVER NEAR THE IGNITION. BEFORE I LEARNED THIS TRICK, I HAD TO LEAVE THE KEY IN ALL DAY AND IT DRAINED MY BATTERY COMPLETELY. I AM CONCERNED SINCE I HAVE HEARD OF DEATHS THAT OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS BECAUSE IT IS EITHER NOT IN GEAR OR THE CAR THINKS THAT IS IS STILL "ON" BECAUSE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS BEEN COVERED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE COVERED IN THE CAPTIVA AS WELL BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WAS A PROMO CAR AND NOT ENOUGH OF THEM WERE PRODUCED FOR IT TO QUALIFY AS A RECALL WHAT???? THESE DEFECTS SHOULD BE INDEFINITELY COVERED BY GM RECALLS SINCE GM IS AN AMERICAN MADE CAR AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME IGNITION/KEY/GEARSHIFT ISSUES AS 25 MILLION VEHICLES COVERED BY GM'S 2014 "EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT"/RECALL- WHEN IN PARK, THE KEY STICKS IN THE IGNITION DUE TO FAILED SHIFTING FUNCTIONALITIES. I CANNOT REMOVE MY KEY AND THE BATTERY DRAINS COMPLETELY DUE TO THE DASH LIGHTS AND OTHER SYSTEMS BEING ACTIVATED BY THE KEY'S PRESENCE IN THE IGNITION. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IS MY VEHICLE REALLY IN PARK? CAN IT ROLL OVER ME, MY CHILD, OR SOMEONE ELSE WHEN I PARK IT AND WALK AWAY? GM IS ALREADY KNOWN FOR ITS IGNITION DESIGN DEFECTS AND THE SUBSEQUENT DEATHS. ALL GM VEHICLES EXHIBITING SIGNS OF THESE DEFECTS SHOULD BE INDEFINITELY COVERED BY GM RECALLS OR EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENTS.
