Consumer Description

I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY REPLACED TODAY. MY BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS NOT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. FOR A YEAR OR SO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CARS KEY HAS BEEN REMOVABLE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE TO MY DEALERSHIP OVER THE YEARS WITH NO RESOLVE. SINCE THE RECALL OF OTHER GM MODELS DURING THE SAME YEAR MY CAR WAS MADE RECENTLY I HAVE READ OVER THESE ISSUES AND MY EQUINOX IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. NOW MY BATTERY IS BEING COMPROMISED DUE TO IT NOT COMPLETELY BEING ABLE TO SHUT OFF. *TR
