I've replaced battery, head gaskets, overflow tank, air system connectors, water pump, pcv valve, evap canister, spark plugs, spark plug wires, radiator, camshaft sensor, coolant temp sensor, but my car is still leaking coolant from underneath lower intake manifold and isn't trying to start. I've spent over $2000 and still haven't seen results or got it to fully function. Last time I drove it was on regular georgia roads going to and coming home from work when it over heated twice going both ways.

I can not remove the key from the ignition after putting the car in park. The above happened randomly at first, but got worse, and now happens every single time. I now have to leave the key in the car, in the accessory position, and carry a second key just to lock and unlock the car. If I don't restart the car within a few hour hours, the battery would be drained, and I would have to get a jump start - this had happened to me a few times. I searched this issue on the internet and found an article from autonews.com dated december 11 2014 saying that gm is aware of this problem, and would fix it if asked (not a recall). I contacted two local chevrolet dealerships: community chevrolet (16 jan 2015) and rydell chevrolet (19 jan 2015), but was told they are not aware of any authorization from gm to fix the above stated issue. Please help me resolve this problem with gm.

I am appalled that I have received a recall notice in the mail, and when I go to make the appointment in order to repair the damage, no parts are available until mid october. The recall notice states we should schedule an appointment on or after october 1, 2014. However, what's the point? There are no parts available?
