NHTSA Complaint #10640659 — 2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA

1.) I CAN REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE CYLINDER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. WHEN I TURN KEY OFF AND LOCK DOOR, THE LOCK POPS BACK UP BECAUSE IT NOT IN THE OFF POSITION. I GET BACK IN AND PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN TO THE LEFT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS OFF, AND I CAN NOW LOCK MY DOOR. I MUST ALWAYS USE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST IT NOT TO ROLL WHEN I GET OUT.
