Key is able to be removed while the ignition switch is in on position, whether vehicle is stationary, moving, running or off. Started shortly after purchase (used) in 2010, at about 65,000 miles. Very disconcerting to say the least.

Like other cars in the ignition recall, when I try to turn on the car the wheel is locked, I need to move the steering wheel back and forth and if that doesn't work I press on the gas. I can also take the key out when the car is running. GM will not pay for it because it is not in the recall and my mileage is over 100K. I also have a problem with the airbags turning on when there is no one in the passenger seat.
