Consumer Description

MORNING OF MAY, ENTER CAR AND TRIED TO TURN KEY TO ON POSITION TO START, WITH NO LUCK. WIGGLE KEY IN LOCK SEVERAL TIMES TO FINALLY RELEASE KEY SO IT WOULD MOVE INTO STARTING MODE. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PAIN, IT HAS GOTTEN BAD ENOUGH THAT KEY WILL JUST PULL OUT OF LOCK ASSEMBLY EVEN IN RUNNING MODE. GM HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME,AND SHOULD APPLY A RECALL ON THIS ITEM EVEN AS FAR BACK AS MY 2001 IMPALA, WOULD HATE TO HAVE CAR SHUT OFF DURING DRIVING MODE OF JUST LEFT STRANDED FOR A STUPID IGNITION KEY ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. PLEASE TRY TO HELP IN THIS AREA. THANKS *TR
