Consumer Description
2009 CHEVY COBALT. OVER PAST 6 MONTHS, ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS: IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO SELECT IGN SWITCH ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WOULD SWITCH OFF AND I COULD REMOVE KEY. SEPT 21 PARKED AT HOTEL TO CHECK IN. RETURNED TO CAR- STARTED NORMALLY. I PARKED CAR AT ROOM IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN OFF. KEY JAMMED IN IGNITION. I HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TO SHUT OFF CAR. UPON RETURN HOME CAR TAKEN TO DEALER-IGNITION SWITCH,COLLAR AND KEY REMOVED/REPLACED. DEALER SERVICE MGR STATED HAD SEVERAL OF THESE AND MECHANIC FAMILIAR WITH REPLACEMENT.
