Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I attempt to turn off my vehicle, the key will not rotate to the off position..therefore, the key is stuck in the ignition and the car is still on, draining the battery. I took the car to a dealership in 2013 and told nothing was wrong with it but they charged me $165.00 to put in a new ignition. The problem was intermittent until december 2014 and now the key is permanently stuck in the ignition and if I want to drive my car, I have to charge the battery every time I drive it. Gm just recalled the cobalt and hhr for the same issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10672082, filed 2015-01, 90,000 miles“Car will not shift out of park intermittently. Dealer found wires to be broken and wires that were frayed at the shift solenoid. They removed console to splice and fix the wires. Dealer deemed wear and tear? At 32,000 miles? (console would have covered these wires totally so not sure where the wear and tear would be from). From putting the car in park? Drive? Reverse? I doubt it was wear and tear.”
