Could not turn the ignition key off beyond the Accessory position in order to turn the key completely off to remove the ignition key. The key would stick in the ON oor Accessory position. The problem was in the microswitch button on the console shifter, the front button is pushed in to enable shifting into the PARK position. This is a safety concern due to not being able to turn off the ignition and also to not remove the key from the ignition. The repair was done by the dealer, a control unit in the shifter was replaced to correct the problem. Part cost was $525, labor was $225.73. This is a class problem on Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks. There should be a recall on this problem.

The ignition key gets stuck in the ignition after shutting off the car. The key may not be removed from the ignition. The failure of the transmission shift control mechanism directly impacts the safe, mechanical operation of the vehicle's powertrain and transmission park-lock functions. The vehicle was taken to a local GM dealer and the problem was recreated. This is a known problem with the transmission shift control assembly for several model years (2020 - 2023). Also, there was a previous class action lawsuit (Jefferson & Riley class action settlement) which specifically covered a predefined list of early-generation model years (including the 2017–2019 GMC Acadia, 2019 Chevy Blazer, and 2016–2019 Malibu/Traverse/Volt). GM continued using similar microswitch shifters in newer vehicles like your my 2022 Canyon. I had no prior warning lamps but the symptoms occurred infrequently after I purchased the vehicle on March 29, 2023. I am the original owner of the vehicle and in July 2026 the problem became frequent - on an almost daily basis. I took the vehicle to my local GM dealer and I was initially told to use my spare key and see if that fixes it. In August 2026, I took it back to the GM dealer and insisted that a diagnostic be done, at which time they agreed that the transmission shift control assembly was faulty. My concern is that GM continued to use the same defective part in newer GM vehicles even though this part was previously determined to be defective in the Jefferson & Riley class action settlement.
