3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/08/2014

My Cadillac Cts 2004 key is stuck in the ignition and will not release. The car was towed to two different dealerships one said it was a battery. I purchased a new one that wasn't the problem and one thought it was the alternator and that wasn't the problem. I did have a recall on the key ring and got that taken care of, but honestly the same recall that is dealing with the camaros and the cobalts need to be enforced with the Cadillacs. Gm new there was something faulty about the keys getting stuck in the Cadillacs. I've been on several forums and we all have the same problem!.
