Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY COBALT, THE KEY CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF FOR OVER 5 HOURS. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY REASONS. NOT ONLY WILL I PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THAT PART BUT EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY DUE TO THIS. I'VE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND SEE THAT IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG MANY CHEVY'S ESPECIALLY MY MODEL. I THINK SINCE IT'S SUCH A COMMON ISSUE THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD WASTE OVER $800 TO GET SOMETHING FIXED THAT IS MORE COMMON THAN IT SHOULD BE. *TR
