The key keeps getting stuck in the ignition once the car is off. This prevents me from being able to leave my car unattended. I was trying to go grocery shopping and couldn't because the key wouldn't come out of the ignition for me to lock the doors. 01/04/2022. The most recent time this happened before today was about 2 weeks ago 12/21/2021. I tried starting the vehicle again and turning it off and it still wouldn't allow the key to release. My husband was able to get the key out the last after several hours. We will be scheduling an appointment with service center when an appointment becomes available to have it inspected. Based on research this has been an issue with captiva's in the past.

As the class action lawsuit finalized for the 2010-2013 chevrolet equinox and gm terrain 2.4l ecotec oil consumption. The 2014 chevy captiva is experiencing the same issues with their 2.4l ecotec engines with excessive oil consumption as damaged engine components causing issues. I have noticed engine knocking and constant check engine lights. I have to put 2 quarts of oil in every 3000 miles. The vehicle has a rough idle when sitting and lacks acceleration. It continues to burn out my o2 sensors and cam sensors. The dealership I took too for regular service neglected to address these issues till I found out about the class action suit already against them and my car being 4 quarts low on oil.

The key isn't releasing from the ignition. You must turn car on and off, move gear shift in and out of park to manual and back to park again then try again to start the car and turn it off to get it to release to off position instead of getting stuck at the acc position. This happens at the most inconvenient times. Taking anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours to get it out of the ignition. Very frustration when you need to be to work at a certain time and are even early. Then still end up being late because the key won't come out of the ignition. This should be a recall issue. Reading through some of the other complaints this is a common occurrence in many gm models. You shouldn't have to take and extra set of keys with you and pray while you are at work no one steals your vehicle.

Vehicle was in motion on a city street , while trying to make a u-turn, my vehicle gear shifted back to neutral and park . When I applied the brakes the brakes didn't work and my car was still moving forward. I pushed back the gear to park position and stopped at a curb. I couldn't start back the vehicle anymore, if it wasn't for the curb I could have hit someone or a tree and hurt myself.
