problem #2

Oct 162017

Sierra 1500 3.4L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 198,305 miles

Every time I try to start the truck the ignition key cylinder is locked. It takes some wiggling of the key and turn the steering wheel back and forth quickly to get it unlocked, and some times it does not unlock until after about 15-30 seconds and a few times up to a minute or more.

problem #1

Sierra 1500 LS V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 103,669 miles

Well this happened today. I can't move my truck because the switch is locked and the worst is tonight we have a parking ban for bad weather and..I can't move to N because the switch doesn't move at all. I call AAA but they don't want to tow because they don't want tomake any transmission damage.

Update from Mar 2, 2015: fixing the problem lock for avoid theft. At the driver side door have antilocks system,I went inside the truck lock all the doors with the remote control wait for 30 sec press the antilocks at the driver side doors and put the keys in the ignition and start the truck.Take me 5 hour to solve the problem.
