After having the latest recall repair done on my truck which involved working within the steering column, the key gets VERY HOT and STICKS/HANGS. This was not an issue until the recall "fix". I had the key tumbler replaced, I was told this may fix the problem, but it didn't.

2015 chevrolet colorado, z71 trim, v6 gasoline engine the ignition key is at times stuck in the ignition with no reliable way for removal. The switch will turn far enough to shut down the engine, however the cylinder will not turn far enough back to allow for removal of the key. There are several problems related to this exact issue online, meaning this is not a "one off" type of problem.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO THAT HAD A POWER STEERING RECALL , MINE HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING BUT A RUN AROUND FROM THE CHEVY AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAY MY TRUCK WAS NOT MADE AT THE RECALL PLANT., MY QUESTION IS HOW DO THEY KNOW IF SOME OF THE PARTS WERE NOT FROM THE RECALL PLANT?? NO ONE WILL HELP ME AND THIS IS SERIOUS, IT MAY BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE POWER STEERING GOES, AND THIS COULD POTENTIALLY END BADLY... PLEASE ADVISE

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY KEY GETTING STUCK SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017. WHEN REPAIRS FIRST STARTED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) AND THEY REPLACED KEY IGNITION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED LESS AFTERWARDS BUT DIDNT STOP, I STUCK IT OUT DUE TO ACTUALLY LOVING MY TRUCK OTHER THAN THE SITUATION. WELL THIS WINTER, 2018 AS IT GOT COLD THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE TO THE POINT MY BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE DUE TO THE KEY BEING STUCK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP (PARKS BUICK GMC) SAYS THAT THEY "THINK" IT MAY BE THE SHIFTER BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I NOW HAVE TO PAY $491 TO GET THIS DONE. I'VE SEEN A COMPLAINT ONLINE THAT STATES SOMEONE GOT SHIFTER REPLACED AND THE KEY STILL KEPT GETTING STUCK. ON TOP OF ALL THIS I'VE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROMISED A SENIOR ADVISOR (DOUGLAS) WOULD CONTACT ME IN 48 HOURS AND HE STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME.

THE TOUCHSCREEN INFORMATION DISPLAY BEGAN ERRONEOUSLY ACCEPTING TOUCH INPUT WHEN NOTHING HAS BEEN TOUCHED. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT REGARD TO TEMPERATURE, VEHICLE MOTION OR ANY OTHER FACTORS OBSERVED. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY FLASH DISTRACTING DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN, RANDOMLY START USING THE VOICE SYSTEM TO ASK THE DRIVER FOR INPUT, CHANGES AUDIO SOURCES/RADIO STATIONS, AND HANGS UP ON BLUETOOTH CONNECTED PHONE CALLS. ALL OF THESE FACTORS CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH.

The 2015 colorado has an electrical/lighting problem. While the lighting is not a big issue, the fact that it may indicate a more serious electrical problem is. When entering the truck, the cargo light comes on, as it is supposed to, but when exiting the truck, the reverse lights come on instead of the cargo light.
