    2006 Chevy Cobalt Key Stuck
    I have a chevy cobalt 2006 and the key keeps getting stuck in the ignition,I think the problem is the gear shift pin. My question is it covered under warranty? The three year warranty runs out in February next year and it has done 80k kms.

    The base warranty is 3years/36,000 miles. 80k kilometers translates to about 58,000 miles. Unless you opted for an extended warranty when the original coverage was still valid, you are out of warranty.

    On the bottom of most GM steering columns, in the area below the ignition switch is a hole that has a plug in it. Pull that plug out and the next time it sticks insert a small screwdriver or something up the hole. There is a pin on the underside of the ignition cylinder that locks the steering column and shifter. If it is not working properly by pushing that up your ignition will turn the rest of the way off so you can remove your key. If that is the issue, a new ignition switch is in order.
