Key Stuck in Ignition

Well, I got the infamous "key stuck in the ignition" problem. It started happening last week. I figured I'd tell my dealership about it when I bring it in.

What's funny is that as soon as I get there and shut the car off....it gets stuck. Now, I know how to get it out, no big deal but I left it in there so I don't get the "can't duplicate problem" bullsh*t.

They told me that my car isn't recognizing when I am in park so they ordered a part to fix it. They are also fixing the whole "cloth seperating from the bezel" problem and the "paint chipping off the bezel" problem.

If any one needs a good service department in the Jersey area, I highly recommend Rossi Pontiac, Chevrolet, and Buick of Washington, NJ on RT. 31...

* This is the same dealer which replaced my old warped rotors with the new GMPP ones
