NHTSA Complaint #10676511 — 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU

I CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. THE ABOVE HAPPENED RANDOMLY AT FIRST, BUT GOT WORSE, AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME. I NOW HAVE TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE CAR, IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION, AND CARRY A SECOND KEY JUST TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR. IF I DON'T RESTART THE CAR WITHIN A FEW HOUR HOURS, THE BATTERY WOULD BE DRAINED, AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET A JUMP START - THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME A FEW TIMES. I SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND AN ARTICLE FROM AUTONEWS.COM DATED DECEMBER 11 2014 SAYING THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND WOULD FIX IT IF ASKED (NOT A RECALL). I CONTACTED TWO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS: COMMUNITY CHEVROLET (16 JAN 2015) AND RYDELL CHEVROLET (19 JAN 2015), BUT WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY AUTHORIZATION FROM GM TO FIX THE ABOVE STATED ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH GM. *TR
