TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO EASILY REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, IT TOOK 20 MINUTES TO RELEASE IT. THE DEALER QUOTED THE DIAGNOSIS RATES AND THE CONTACT IS REQUESTED COMPENSATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED 50 TIMES.*AK
KEY DOES NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION. IT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF BUT WILL NOT GO INTO THE LOCK POSITION WITHOUT QUITE A BIT OF WIGGLING BACK AND FORTH. IT STARTED OUT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE AND NOW IT IS EVERY SINGLE TIME WE TRY TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT. I TOOK THE TRACKER TO A LOCK SMITH THINKING IT WAS JUST THE KEY OR THE HOLE THE KEY GOES IN AND HE INFORMED ME THAT CHEVY HAD SENT HIM QUITE A FEW TRACKERS AND GEO'S TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS, IF THE KEY FAILS TO COME OUT THEN THE CAR IS ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE THAT PASSES BY IT. IT WILL BE STOLEN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I AM READING ABOUT WITH OTHER TRACKERS AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALER, IT IS A DEFECT. *NM
