2014 Chevrolet Captiva

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2014 CHEVY CAPTIVA GETS STUCK AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED WHEN TURNING IT OFF WHEN STATIONARY. UPON PERSONAL RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS MODEL HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH COUNTLESS DRIVERS (TYPICALLY AT 40K-50K MILES) AND IS NOT ADDRESSED BY GM AS A RECALL OR SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SWITCH IS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED IT IS A SENSORY ISSUE, THE VEHICLE KEY IS ALSO ABLE TO COME OUT WHILE ON DRIVE. A SIMPLE SEARCH 'CHEVY CAPTIVA KEY STUCK' WILL RESULT IN MANY SUCH INCIDENTS.

THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T ALWAYS TURN ALL THE WAY OFF, SO I CAN'T GET MY KEY OUT. I HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR A NUMBER OF TIMES AND FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES I'LL GET LUCKY & IT WILL CLICK ALL THE WAY TO OFF & THEN I CAN GET MY KEY OUT. THERE EVEN TIMES WHEN I COULDN'T GET MY KEY OUT AND IT RAN MY BATTERY DOWN AND THEN I HAD TO HAVE A JUMP TO GET MY CAR STARTED....IT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE !!!!!!! PLEASE HELP....

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2014 CHEVY CAPTIVA LTZ. UPON DRIVING IT OFF OF THE LOT AND PARKING, I TRIED TO USE THE BUTTON FOR THE BACK WINDSHIELD WASHER TO WASH THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WIPER WOULD COME ON BUT NO WATER CAME OUT. I DONE THIS REPEATEDLY THINKING MAYBE IT JUST TOOK SOME TIME TO GET BACK THERE, WHEN I STARTED HEARING WATER RUNNING AND STOPPED PRESSING THE BUTTON IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND THE SPEAKERS STARTED MAKING A POPPING SOUND. THE WASHER FLUID WAS LEAKING INSIDE THE REAR PANELING AND SOAKING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS THERE IS A LOT OF INSTRUMENT WIRING ON THAT SIDE.

THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN PARKED. IT WON'T TURN TO THE 'OFF' POSITION. IT STAYS LOCKED ON THE 'ACC' POSITION. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY CERTIFIED CHEVROLET MECHANICS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM THEY DID REPLACE THE GEAR SHIFT THINKING IT WASN'T COMMUNICATING PROPERLY TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

HAVE A CAPTIVE WITH ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE FIRST FEW TIMES I WAS ABLE TO FIDDLE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT BY PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THEN BACK IN PARK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT. HOWEVER THIS LAST TIME I COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED. LUCKILY I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH A 200 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE SO HOPEFULLY IT WON COST TO MUCH TO FIX. *TR
