Consumer Description

FOUND KEY WOULD NOT TURN PAST 'OFF' POSITION. AFTER WIGGLING KEY FINALLY TURNED ON AND WAS OK. AFTER A FEW DAYS FOUND KEY COULD BE REMOVED WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. SEVERAL DAYS LATER FOUND KEY WOULD NOT MOVE SWITCH TO FULL OFF POSITION. JUST FOUND THIS SITE AND SEE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR TROUBLES. LOOKS TO ME LIKE THESE SWITCHES ARE POORLY MANUFACTURED AND SHOULD BE REPLACE BY GM AT NO OR MINIMAL CHARGE TO OWNERS WHO TRUSTED THEY WERE PURCHASING A TOP NOTCH VEHICLE WITH A TRUST-WORTHY MANUFACTURER. MILEAGE AT FAILURE 90,000. *TR
