Yesterday I turned off the alarm and unlocked the doors via the keypad. I opened the driver door and my wife opened the passenger rear door and the Hummer H2 started. No key in the ignition and the fob does not have a start button. I then got in the car and inserted the key and turned the key to ON then to off and the vehicle would not shut off. Only after cycling through the gears was I able to shut off the vehicle. I have now disconnected the battery to prevent another unwanted start.

IN BOTH OCCASIONS THE LINE BURST DUE TO RUST. MY VEH. HAS 103,000.00 LIGHTLY DRIVEN. GM NEEDS TO COME OUT AND ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RUSTING BRAKE LIENS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED

I FEEL THAT THIS KEY PROBLEM FALLING OUT OF THE IGNITION, KEY WILL NOT TURN ON OR OFF MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND CAUSING IT NOT TO START. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A 2003 ISUZU ASCENDER. ALSO THE "DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER" HAS QUIT WORKING RIGHT WHICH CONTROLS A LOT OF THINGS ON THE VEHICLE. I THINK IT IS A DEFECTIVE SWITCH FROM GM WHO ALSO BUILT MY 2003 ISUZU. *TR
