NHTSA Complaint #11686850 — 2021 CHEVROLET COLORADO

Beginning at approximately 80,000 miles I began to notice I could not remove the key from the ignition switch at times. Turning the vehicle on and off, shifting repeatedly into park, turning the steering wheel and pressing the brake had no effect. I now have 90,000 miles and the problem occurs about half of the time when trying to exit the vehicle. It is dangerous to leave the vehicle with the key still in the switch. I called the dealership and they said they were familiar with the problem and if it was like others they had encountered, it would require changing out the shifter mechanism. I took the Colorado to the dealership on 9/10/2025 and the diagnostics showed that it was a switch problem in the shifter. The repair was $720.15 which I had completed. The shop people said it was a fairly frequent issue with that model and some others
