2002 Chevy Trailblazer. When you go to start the vehicle and if the vehicle has a dead battery, you can not remove the key from the ignition. The ignition locks up and you can't remove the key. I guess this is actually part of the anti-theft devices. This is very unsafe in that if you have to go to seek help. The car is unlocked with the key in the ignition.

The light on the 4 wheel drive knob is always jumping back and forth from 2 wd to 4 wd. The service 4 wheel drive light came on several times. The vehicle was taken to my Chevrolet dealership and it took them 5 days to figure out the service 4 wheel drive light was due to the ignition" my ignition does not start properly anymore. The lights on the 4 wd knob still blink. I do not know if the vehicle is safe. The dealership claims it is safe"
