Consumer Description
THE VEHICLE'S STEERING IGNITION COLUMN WAS NOT RELEASING THE KEY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. GM EVENTUALLY MAILED A RECALL AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ENDANGERING THE DRIVER. ON JULY 28, 2014, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR ITS RECALL, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STEERING IGNITION COLUMN WAS NOT RELEASING THE KEY. HOMESTEAD CHEVROLET STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE SHIFT LOCK CONTROL SOLENOID AND THE COST IS $500 DOLLARS. I FEEL THAT GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE KEY IGNITION. *TR
