Consumer Description

OUR 2005 CHEVY COBALT LS HAS KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. I FOUND COUNTLESS SIMILAR COMPLAINS ONLINE FROM OWNERS. IS THIS RELATED TO STEERING ISSUE. IF NOT PLEASE HAVE THEM FIX THIS LEMON. IT'S NOT SAVE AS WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO TAKE THE KEYS OUT IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION, IN WHICH CASE SHIFTER STICK IS NOT LOCKED AND KIDS ARE ABLE TO SHIFT IT FROM PARK. IT ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY. *TR
