Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 COBALT AND THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR COULD NOT BE PUT INTO PARK. THE CAR WAS BASICALLY IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR IN THE "ON" POSITION OVER NIGHT. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED AT VANN CHEVY IN CARROLLTON TX AND HAD TO PAY $640.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I HAD TO GET THE WHOLE SHIFTER REPLACED FROM THE SHIFT BUTTON TO THE FLOOR. CHEVY CONTACTED ME TODAY AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PROBLEM. CHEVY STATED AT THIS POINT IT IS NOT A RECALL EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
