Description of the problem | The steering wheel has manual drive shift levers on both sides. When making a right turn sometimes the lever gets caught on keys causing the steering wheel to make a hard right turn resulting in momentary loss of steering control. I have almost driven into ditches or other objects due to this defect. Also, the shifter is not engaging properly causing the key to be get stuck in the ignition when the engine is off. In order to get the key to release i have to restart the engine, reverse and put the shifter back in the park position. Then i must engage the floor brake and release it until a clicking noise is heard inside the shifter. The key will then release. This problem has already been reported in other models of gm vehicles and part of a recall however my model has not been recalled. The dealer and manufacturer are not taking responsibility. |
