2014 Chevrolet Captiva Complaint Log

KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND NO POWER RELATED EQUIPMENT WILL COME ON. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY. SHIFT WON''T MOVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND TURNING KEY BACK INTO START POSITION DOES NOTHING. DOORS WON'T LOCK WITH KEY FOB AND NO DASH LIGHTS COME ON, OR ANYTHING. SOMETIMES PUSHING WIRES INTO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL WILL CORRECT IT AND SOMETIMES NOT. KEY RELEASE LEVER ON STEERING COLUMN DOES NOT RELEASE THE KEY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, NOR DOES TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS AN ANNOYING ISSUE AS THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY RELIABLE FIX FOR THIS, OR ANY RECALL, OR KNOWLEDGE ON THE PART OF THE DEALERSHIP AS TO HOW TO REMEDY THIS. THIS ISSUE MAKES THIS VEHICLE VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE, AS WELL AS COSTLY TO OWNER IN FINDING ANY PERMANENT FIX. THIS VEHICLE HAS MANY OTHER UNSATISFACTORY ISSUES AND IS VERY POORLY MADE IN GENERAL. IT'S SURPRISING THERE ARE NOT MORE RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED ON MY TURN SIGNAL AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT. AS I TRIED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED RUNNING AGAIN. I WAS TRAVELING AT 80MPH AND WAS SURROUNDED BY OTHERS TRAVELING AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED. I ALSO HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE CAR, AND THE KEY HAS TO BE RELEASED MANUALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY CEASED IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE BATTERY TERMINALS WERE DISCONNECTED AND THE KEY WAS RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. THE DEALER (BAY RIDGE CHEVROLET 1575 86TH ST, BROOKLYN, NY 11228 (833) 452-1829) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

IN JANUARY 2020 I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AFTER HEARING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD TO HAVE THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED, BUT AS THEY LOOKED IT OVER THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACED, DUE TO OIL LEAKING. A COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE IT WAS VERY COLD CLOSE TO 4 DEGREES AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK AT 6AM I HEARD A LOUD SOUND WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. I ASSUMED IT WAS COMING FROM A NEARBY NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT TO FIND OUT MY MECHANIC SAID THAT WAS THE ENGINE FROZEN AND POPPED. HE SAID WHEN ITS COLD THAT HAPPENS TO THIS ENGINE. UNREAL! TWO WEEKS AGO, MY CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND GAS. SO I TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE CAT CONVERTER,EXHAUST MANIFOLD, AND LEAKING SEAL. LAST WEEK, I WENT TO UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE THE REAR WIPER FLUID MOTOR STARTED AND RAN CONTINUOUSLY, TO THE POINT IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL NOW. NOW THIS WEEK MY TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN, BOTH FRONT HEAD LIGHTS BURNT OUT, MY TRACTION CONTROL KEEPS TURNING ON/OFF, MY SPEAKERS ARE POPPING, RADIO IS CUTTING IN/OUT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALER IN 2014 WITH 12K MILES ON IT, ALWAYS SERVICED THE VEHICLE, CHANGED THE OIL REGULARLY, INSPECTED YEARLY, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE EVERY 6 MONTHS. NOW HAVE 83K MILES AND I NEED THIS CAR TO LAST ME TWO MORE YEARS. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN IT ABOUT 12 MILES AND KILLED THE CAR MEANING I TURNED IT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY IT HAD NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. THEN SAT NOV 30,2019 I WAS DRIVING IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE SENSOR LIGHTS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE CAME ON AND IT CHIMED LETTING ME KNOW SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND THEN IT QUIT. SUN, DEC 1ST, 2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN OKC AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT. NEXT, I HAD TURNED DOWN A SIDE ROAD ABOUT TO DRIVE OVER A SPEED BUMP, WHEN THE CAR SLIPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR ONLY ALLOWING THE MOTOR TO REV, AND IT JUST ROLLED WHILE THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS BLINKED AND FLICKERED AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES. ONCE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO ROLL A FEW MINUTES, IT ENGAGED BACK INTO DRIVE AND MY UBER RIDER ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG, AND I EXPLAINED, THAT IM HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THIS IS NOT ONLY PUTTING ME AND MY WIFE IN DANGER, BUT ALL OF MY UBER PASSENGERS AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME RESOLUTION ON THIS ISSUE AND GET IT FIXED, SO OUR LIVES AND EVERYONE AROUND US IS OUT OF DANGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE IGNITION SYSTEM WOULD NOT RELEASE THE KEY OR RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. LIBERTYVILLE CHEVROLET (1001 S MILWAUKEE AVE, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048, (847) 932-3170) AND THE MANUFACTURER BOTH STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER QUOTED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $600 MINIMUM. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE REPAIRS AS COSTING ANYWHERE FROM $600 TO $1,100. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FINALIZED FOR THE 2010-2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND GM TERRAIN 2.4L ECOTEC OIL CONSUMPTION. THE 2014 CHEVY CAPTIVA IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AS DAMAGED ENGINE COMPONENTS CAUSING ISSUES. I HAVE NOTICED ENGINE KNOCKING AND CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. I HAVE TO PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN EVERY 3000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDLE WHEN SITTING AND LACKS ACCELERATION. IT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT MY O2 SENSORS AND CAM SENSORS. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK TOO FOR REGULAR SERVICE NEGLECTED TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES TILL I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION SUIT ALREADY AGAINST THEM AND MY CAR BEING 4 QUARTS LOW ON OIL.

MY ENGINE WAS USING TO MUCH OIL.IT IS THE SAME ENGINE IN THE CLASS ACTION SUITE AGAINST GM'S FOR THE CHEVY EQUINOX THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT IT IS THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS BEING RECALLED I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MY CAR JUST QUIT ON ME DUE TO THERE MESSED UP ENGINE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT CHEVY CAPTIVAS HAVE THE SAME ENGINE AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED

CAR LOSES VOLTAGE WHILE DRIVING AND RADIO SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES CAR WILL NOT START AND I HAVE TO BANG THE FUSE BOX TO GET A CONNECTION. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE ICON, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ALL LIGHT UP.

JUST LIKE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND TODAY WAS JUST RIDICULOUS. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION, WE HAVE HAD TO WIGGLE THE BATTERY CABLE OR TAKE OUT OF PARK BEFORE THE CAR WILL RELEASE THE KEY. THIS CAN TAKE SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO TRAVEL OR UTILIZE THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH BEST CHEVROLET (2600 VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD, KENNER, LA 70062, (504) 315-7790) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE UNKNOWN RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT WAS DISCONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED A $100 VOUCHER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE KEY IS INTERMITTENTLY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK.

I HAVE TO PUT 1-3 QUARTS OF OIL IN MY CAR AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. IT BURNS WAY TO MUCH OIL.

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2014 CHEVY CAPTIVA GETS STUCK AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED WHEN TURNING IT OFF WHEN STATIONARY. UPON PERSONAL RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS MODEL HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH COUNTLESS DRIVERS (TYPICALLY AT 40K-50K MILES) AND IS NOT ADDRESSED BY GM AS A RECALL OR SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SWITCH IS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED IT IS A SENSORY ISSUE, THE VEHICLE KEY IS ALSO ABLE TO COME OUT WHILE ON DRIVE. A SIMPLE SEARCH 'CHEVY CAPTIVA KEY STUCK' WILL RESULT IN MANY SUCH INCIDENTS.

SEVERAL TIMES THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION I HAVE TO TAKE OUT OF PARK AND SOMETIMES I RESTART SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION

TAKATA RECALL CAR PARKED IN GARAGE. DAUGHTER TRIED TO OPEN LEFT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. IF THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY, LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN LOST!

BOTH BACK SEAT INTERIOR HANDLES BROKEN UNDER NORMAL USAGE. CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE DOORS CAN BE OPEN WITH GREAT EFFORT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY CAPTIVA FOR 16 MONTHS. THE KEY IS CONSTANTLY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. MY HUSBAND HAD TO OPEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND PRESS A BUTTON TO RELEASE THE KEY.I KEEP A SCREW DRIVER IN MY CAR JUST IN CASE THE KEY GETS STUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S KEY WOULD INTERMITTENTLY BECOME STUCK IN THE ON POSITION INSIDE THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS, DUTCH MILLER KIA OF CHARLESTON (335 MACCORKLE AVE SW, CHARLESTON, WV 25303) AND JOE HOLLAND CHEVROLET & IMPORTS (210 MACCORKLE AVE SW, SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV 25303) WHERE THEY WERE BOTH UNABLE TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

THERE IS NO TEMPERATURE VARIANCE FOR THE DASH DEFROSTER (ONLY ON DEFROST SETTING). IT IS EITHER EXTREMELY COLD OR EXTREMELY HOT. MAITA CHEVROLET IN ELK GROVE IS CLAIMING "THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED" THEIR LOGIC IS OFF, NOR HAVE I FOUND ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT STATEMENT TO BE TRUE.

MY 2014 CAPTIVA HAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES. SINCE APPROXIMATELY MARCH 1, 2019 MY KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN MY IGNITION IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES. IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO GET THE KEY OUT. I USUALLY HAVE TO STOP AND START THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER PUTTING THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK POSITION.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND TAKES ALOT OF JIMMING WITH IT TO GET KEY OUT, DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE 90.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THAT , NOT INCLUDING WHAT IT WILL COST TO FIX.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN ACC PART OF THE IGNITION AND CANNOT COME OUT. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET UNLOCKED AND IF I LEAVE IT THERE IT WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE I HOPE GM WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE DIED WHEN IDLING AT STOP LIGHT. IT RESTARTED AND DIED IMMEDIATELY AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. OIL BLEW OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE AND COVERED THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE REST OF THE OIL DRAINED ONTO THE STREET BELOW THE VEHICLE.

BLEW THE REAR MAIN SEAL IN COLD WEATHER DUE TO CLOGGED PCV VALVE. GM SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 COVERS 2011-2013 WHY DOES IT NOT COVER MY 2014 SAME ENGINE SAME PROBLEM!!

I OWN A CHEVY 2014 CAPTIVA LT AND AFTER PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT HAS / HAD HAPPENED MAYBE ABOUT 4-5 TIMES. EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT. THE LAST TIME I WAS UNABLE. TURNED OFF ALL THE LIGHTS, RADIO, EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL, AND CLOSED THE DOOR. THE NEXT DAY, HAD THE CAR BATTERY JUMPED, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO POWER, AND THEN DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP/GARAGE AND HAD IT LOOKED AT...THE PROBLEM, THE IGNITION SOLENOID. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR, IRONICALLY, ANOTHER CHEVY CAPTIVA WAS TOWED IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2014 CHEVY CAPTIVA LTZ. UPON DRIVING IT OFF OF THE LOT AND PARKING, I TRIED TO USE THE BUTTON FOR THE BACK WINDSHIELD WASHER TO WASH THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WIPER WOULD COME ON BUT NO WATER CAME OUT. I DONE THIS REPEATEDLY THINKING MAYBE IT JUST TOOK SOME TIME TO GET BACK THERE, WHEN I STARTED HEARING WATER RUNNING AND STOPPED PRESSING THE BUTTON IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND THE SPEAKERS STARTED MAKING A POPPING SOUND. THE WASHER FLUID WAS LEAKING INSIDE THE REAR PANELING AND SOAKING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS THERE IS A LOT OF INSTRUMENT WIRING ON THAT SIDE.

CHEVY CAPTIVA [XXX] I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. IS IT THE GAS HAS LEAKED INTO MY ENGINE AND NOW THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS GONE BAD. THE CAR WAS MOVING WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T ALWAYS TURN ALL THE WAY OFF, SO I CAN'T GET MY KEY OUT. I HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR A NUMBER OF TIMES AND FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES I'LL GET LUCKY & IT WILL CLICK ALL THE WAY TO OFF & THEN I CAN GET MY KEY OUT. THERE EVEN TIMES WHEN I COULDN'T GET MY KEY OUT AND IT RAN MY BATTERY DOWN AND THEN I HAD TO HAVE A JUMP TO GET MY CAR STARTED....IT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE !!!!!!! PLEASE HELP....

WHILE GOING AT A LOW SPEED SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE RIGHT TURN IN A BUSINESS DRIVEWAY AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP COULD NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED IGNITION CAR STARTS, BUT STILL UNABLE TO TURN.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND AS I EASED OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A BUSINESS DRIVEWAY I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND CAR SHUT DOWN. I TURNED IGNITION IT STARTS BUT WHEN I PUT IN DRIVE STEERING WAS HARD. HAD TO HAVE TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT FAILED TO MOVE FROM THE ACC POSITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER THE CONTACT TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND JIGGLED THE GEAR SHIFT, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO CRANK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SULLIVAN-PARKHILL CHEVROLET CADILLAC (440 W. ANTHONY DR., CHAMPAIGN, IL 61822, (217)-351-4715) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IN MOTION. TURNING. CITY STREET. THE WHOLE FRONT AND FRONT BUMPER DESTROYED.

TAKATA INFLATORS MY CHEVROLET CAPTIVA 2014 HAS A POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED I WAS PARKED WITH THE MOTHER RUNNING AIR CONDITION ON THEN THE AIR CONDITION GET WARM WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD TO DO

I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION & WAS HIT HARD FRONT PASSENGER & SIDE PASSENGER. WAS T BONED AT BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY STREET. MY UPPER BODY/STERNUM/UPPER ABDOMEN HIT THE STEERING WHEEL FULL FORCE, MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY & SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK DOWN IN PLACE IMMEDIATELY LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE. WENT BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL WITH STERNAL, RIBS, & SPINAL INJURIES. I WANT TO KNOW WHY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME & WHY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK DOWN QUICKLY ENOUGH SO I WOULD NOT HIT STEERING WHEEL.

KEY GETS STUCK, WILL ONLY TURN BACKWARDS TO THE ACC AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PARKING THE CAR AND TURNING IT OFF. YOU HAVE TO PRAY WHEN PARKING THE CAR.

CAN'T SHUT OFF CAR KEY ONLY GOES TO ACC CAN I REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION

THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN PARKED. IT WON'T TURN TO THE 'OFF' POSITION. IT STAYS LOCKED ON THE 'ACC' POSITION. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY CERTIFIED CHEVROLET MECHANICS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM THEY DID REPLACE THE GEAR SHIFT THINKING IT WASN'T COMMUNICATING PROPERLY TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PETE MOORE CHEVROLET, 106 N. NEW WARRINGTON RD, PENSACOLA, FL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CAMSHAFT AND THE POWER STEERING GEAR WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,022.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET , WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A U-TURN, MY VEHICLE GEAR SHIFTED BACK TO NEUTRAL AND PARK . WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK AND MY CAR WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. I PUSHED BACK THE GEAR TO PARK POSITION AND STOPPED AT A CURB. I COULDN'T START BACK THE VEHICLE ANYMORE, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CURB I COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE OR A TREE AND HURT MYSELF.

HAVE A CAPTIVE WITH ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE FIRST FEW TIMES I WAS ABLE TO FIDDLE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT BY PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THEN BACK IN PARK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT. HOWEVER THIS LAST TIME I COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED. LUCKILY I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH A 200 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE SO HOPEFULLY IT WON COST TO MUCH TO FIX. *TR

UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. TOOK TO THE THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE GEARSHIFT LEVER. SEE ATTACHED RECEIPT.

THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. IT WILL NOT GO PAST THE ACCESSORY TO TURN OFF. THE CAR IS LEFT ON WITH THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION WITH THE BATTERY GOING DEAD. THE LIGHTED RING AROUND WHERE YOU PUT THE KEY IN ALSO GOES ON AND OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A SIGN POST AND CRASHED INTO AN OATS FARM FIELD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A FEW INJURIES, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, BUT WAS DRIVABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED JOHN L. SULLIVAN CHEVROLET AT 916-782-1243 (350 AUTUMN DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661) AND THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BILLY NAVARRE CHEVROLET, 1300 E COLLEGE ST, LAKE CHARLES, LA 70607, 337-474-1999 AND 337-377-0601), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED AND DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED AND TURNED IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND COULD NOT ASSIST SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,540.

CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY FROM IGNITION

I CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE SUV AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. AT FIRST I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE SUV BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. IT HAS BEEN WORST LATELY. AS I FILL OUT THIS COMPLAINT , THE KEY IS STILL STUCK IN THE IGNITION, SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO STEAL MY CAR, THEY COULD. THE SUV JUST TURNED 56000 MILES. GM NEED TO FIX THIS, AS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH THE CAPTIVA, BUT OTHER GM MODELS AS WELL. I HAVE HAD TO SIT IN MY CAR FOR ALMOST AN HOUR BEFORE THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED A GM VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL,

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT TURN BACK PAST ACC. THIS REQUIRES THE OPERATOR TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF COUNTLESS TIMES, LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING ETC, BECAUSE THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. ENGAGING THE SHIFTER AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT SEND A 'SIGNAL' TO LET THE KEY RELEASE.

I AM NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 36.000 MILES. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY OR PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CAN GO FOR DAYS WITHOUT A PROBLEM THEN IT WILL HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. UP TO THIS POINT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE, PULL FORWARD AND JAM THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. 2 TO 4 TRIES LATER I CAN REMOVE THE KEY. ON MY FIRST COMPLAIN AT THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT PUSHING THE KEY IN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND COMPLAINED A 2ND TIME. NOW THE DEALER IS PAYING ATTENTION. I NOTICE MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL ARE FOR THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM DESCRIBING HERE. GM HAS PAID FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM FOR OTHER MODALS. THUS FAR, I SEE NO SUCH RESPONSE FOR THE CAPTIVA!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD BE STUCK IN THE 'ACC' POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LOU BACHRODT CHEVROLET BUICK GMC 7070 CHERRYVALE N BLVD, ROCKFORD, IL 61112) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAILED SHIFTER MODULE.
