Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The ignition key intermittently will not extract. I'm seeing a number of complaints on-line regarding this. I have to often restart the truck back up or forward, turn the steering wheel hard left and right, then put in park to extract the key. I believe this is a danger as you would have to leave the key in the ignition of you cannot extract it. This happens multiple times a week.”
NHTSA complaint #11665707, filed 2025-06“Having problems removing the key from the ignition. We checked and there have been reported problems pertaining to the shifter assembly needing to be replaced. GM has not issued any recalls about this issue but they have put out bulletins regarding the problem. We are currently waiting to hear from the dealer on a quote as they told us there is no recall and we will be responsible. The vehicle doesn't even have 44,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #11763665, filed 2026-09“I have been dealing with a sweet/Christmas-like smell in my car occasionally for the last several months.

I took it into CarMax (where I purchased the vehicle) and they were able to diagnose the issue and state that my heater core needed to be replaced. However, since my vehicle was under 36,000 miles, it needed to go to the dealer. …”

The key is physically locked, the steering wheel will not lock, and the vehicle cannot be reliably secured. The only workaround is to restart the engine and cycle the shifter repeatedly until the interlock releases the key. Recurring. …”
