My damn key is stuck in the car. Im so pissed. Glad it happened when I pulled into the garage. I know many people run into this problem. Gonna take it to the dealer in the morning. Does anyone know hold long it should take to fix?

 

In the ignition? I didn't know that was a common problem lol

 

happened to me i couldnt turn my car off. it was running at the dealership for a few hours before they figured out they couldnt get it out. they had it overnight

 

Lol, I can only pray the dealership here knows what they are doing!

 

Mine happened to me late at night and had to work early in the morning. Pulled fuel pump fuse then disconnected battery.

Took half a day at the dealership.

 

Why you pull fuel pump fuse? I just stalled the car out and disconnected battery.

 

He's an auto lol

 

Got ya. My bad wasnt thinking. lol

 

Anyway good luck with getting the issue fixed

 

glad to see this here i thought it was only my car...
it has happened to me twice...
the first time i started the car and went back home to get somethin as soon as i closed the door the car locked itself...go soo ****** pissed but got the keys out
then the second time was just today...at work..good thing i had the window down
if u get it fixed let us know what they to do it see if i take mine to the dealer!

 

Just dropped off, was packed. But said it should be ready for 3. Lets see how that goes.

 

Happened on both of my old balts 05 and 06. So far not on the 09

 

happened to my TC and it only took id say 2-3 hours guy said i had too much weight on the key and when it hangs it pulls on the teeth

never happened on my 07 base model with 70k

 

Hope everything goes well today, TheTruth7! Looking forward to an update.

yepp, heard this was a big problem for 08+ cobalts.. happened to me to. 1 day at the dealership, + power steering pump fix* cough fix* even tho my power steering gets hard as a mug sometimes, going to take it back and tell em to give me a new one. lmao

 

i know mines gonna be doing this eventually, sometimes i put the key in and it wont let me turn the key until i pull it in and out (oohhhyeaaaaahh lol) a few times and wiggle the steering wheel lol

 

Happen to me once, I found if you crank left and right on the wheel while wiggling the key it will come out. Maybe luck!!

 

Got it fixed in about 2 hours. Everything is good and free!

 

haha happened to me last friday.

 

never happened to me. i told the dealership it got stuck and asked them to replace it with the new style tumbler.. they did. not sure how long it took. wasn;'t going to wait til that happened to have it done.

 

This happened to me a few years ago. Pretty stupid there isn't a recall.

 

Happend to me on my 08 around 4 to 5 months ago

 

There's a recall....
