Key does not release from ignition. It turns the engine off but will not go into the lock position without quite a bit of wiggling back and forth. It started out every once in awhile and now it is every single time we try to turn the key off and take the key out. I took the tracker to a lock smith thinking it was just the key or the hole the key goes in and he informed me that chevy had sent him quite a few trackers and geo's to fix this problem. I think this should be a recall item as, if the key fails to come out then the car is accessible to anyone that passes by it. It will be stolen. This is something that I am reading about with other trackers and I think it should be taken care of by the dealer, it is a defect.

The key would not release from the ignition, it was stuck. I contacted the dealer, they also could not get the key out either. Had to replace the key lock. I hope that something can and will be done about this. Dealer told me that they have worked on other trackers with the same problem. Hope this will help bring a recall on this problem.
