Your ignition switch is bad. Think GM just put out a recall on these for faulty ignition switches. I had to replace mine not long ago as well. Should be getting my reimbursement check from the General here shortly.

 

a recall has been issued but for now, atleast at my dealership, parts are not available yet. if it is a major problem like it sounds like it is, you can do like 00monte did and repair it then wait for a reimbursement.

 

So true I received a letter stating there is no parts available.

 

The recall for this generation isn't for the ignition itself, it addresses either your key or the key hole. So you'll probably be on your own for this one, same for you 00montecarloss. The only cars with ignition cylinder swaps are the cobalt/ion/g5 etc... The first major recall.

 

dont forget solstice/sky and hhr

 

Thats what the etcetera (etc) was for.
