KEY STUCK IN IGNITION ONCE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE FIRST OCCURRED IN 2010. THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE KEY IS TO OVERRIDE PARK SHIFT INDICATOR, WHICH WOULD ALLOW KEY TO BE REMOVED WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, THEREBY DISABLING POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THERE IS NO FIX THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE OVERRIDING PARK SHIFT INDICATOR PER DEALER.

2004 PONTIAC AZTEK RALLY - THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN APRIL 2010 - YOU GET INTO THE CAR, TURN IT ON AND START DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE SPEED OF THE CAR INCREASES SLOWLY UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PUT ON THE BRAKE TO STAY WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY NOW. A CHEVROLET DEALER, FIRST TRIED A NEW BATTERY & GAVE IT BACK TO US. WITHIN 2 MILES OF THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK - THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER - FOUND NOTHING - SO THEN THEY REPLACED THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM - WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED AGAIN - WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT GMAC AND MAKE SOME INQUIRIES. NO ONE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT BUT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE WAY IT IS. *TR

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT JUST TWO DAYS OFF OF THE LOT SHE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HER ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. A NEW HARDWARE KIT WAS INSTALLED AND IT STILL DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. THE ABS PROBLEM WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REALLY SHAKY AND MADE SOME TYPE OF NOISE WHILE BRAKING. IT WOULD MAKE HER BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT REAL QUICK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER PUT NEW SPRINGS ON THE SUSPENSION. THE CONSUMER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, POWER STEERING, GAUGE IS BROKEN, RADIO LIGHTS. THE GEAR STICKS AND SHE HAS TO HOLD IT REALLY TIGHT AND PULL IT REALLY HARD TO MAKE IT GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND IT MAKES A BOOM SOUND. *TT

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING AREA THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT A POWER STEERING PUMP WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING COLUMN IS STILL WHINING AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL GRINDING AND THE STARTER IS STILL HESITATING. *NM THE FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD A LOT OF PLAY, THE WINDSHIELD CONTAINED NUMEROUS CHIPS, THE WINDOWS SQUEALED WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING, THERE WAS A CONSTANT WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP WHEN IN MOTION, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER PROPERLY ALIGNED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE WHINING, BRAKES AND THE STARTER, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS LATER TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD AN AIR BUBBLE. THE ENGINE WAS ALSO SLOW TO START AND WOULD CLICK AT TIMES. *SC *JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
