ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE TO THE OFF POSITION..THEREFORE, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS STILL ON, DRAINING THE BATTERY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IN 2013 AND TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT BUT THEY CHARGED ME $165.00 TO PUT IN A NEW IGNITION. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT UNTIL DECEMBER 2014 AND NOW THE KEY IS PERMANENTLY STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND IF I WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR, I HAVE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. GM JUST RECALLED THE COBALT AND HHR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY NOT EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL GM PRODUCTS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING
JANUARY 11, 2015 2003 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO - VIN: [XXX], MILEAGE: APPROX 120,000 SINCE OCTOBER 2014, THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I LOOSE THE POWER STEERING AND IT'S VERY SCARY IF YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY. IT'S HARD TO BRING TO A STOP AND SOMETIMES WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK IT MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS AFTER I SIT AWHILE AND DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. . IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. IT COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. IT'S TO THE POINT I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. LAST WEE IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL WHERE THEY MODIFY THE KEY. IT DID NOT HELP. MY EXCELLENT MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD A SITUATION LIKE THIS WHERE HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. (INCIDENT INFORMATION WILL NOT LET ME ENTER DATES). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TODAY MY WIPERS DECIDED THEY WOULD PARK IN A STRAIGHT UP 12 O CLOCK POSITION, DUE TO A TAB THAT GETS BENT ON THE WIPER PARKING MECHANISM. I KNOW MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS DONE IT, A LOT OF OTHER CHEVY'S HAVE AS WELL, AND ITS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE, KIND OF HARD TO SEE WITH 2 WIPERS IN MY VISION, DUE TO A FAULTY TAB THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVY IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE TO, AS THEY'VE RELEASED A TSB ON IT, AND EVEN MADE AN UPDATED PARKING MECHANISM WITH A STRONGER PARKING TAB TO STOP THIS ISSUE. *TR

AT SOME POINTS IT WOULD BOUNCING UP AND DOWN BUT NOT COME BACK ABOVE 40 OR SO MPH. WHEN IT WOULD DO SO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT AND REV WAY UP THEN THE NEEDLE WOULD COME BACK UP AND THE TYRANNY WOULD SHIFT BACK UP. I HAD THE NEEDLE GO TO 0 AND NOT COME BACK UP AT ALL AND WHEN SAT FOR A SECOND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD KICK COMPLETELY OUT AND I WOULD BE STUCK ON THE ROAD FOR A MINUTE. AFTER SITTING FOR A BIT I COULD MOVE BUT THE NEEDLE STAYED AT 0 AND THE TRANSMISSION ACTED TO BE STUCK IN 1ST. *TR
