Consumer Description

MY 1998 GMC JIMMY HAS A DEFECT WHERE THE KEY GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT. I HAD THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT 18 MONTHS AGO AND THE IGNITION CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FLOOR SHIFTER, IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS KEYS LEFT IN THE IGNITION CAN LEAD TO SOMEONE TAKING THE CAR WITHOUT PERMISSION ESPECIALLY A CHILD. *JB
