I put key into ignition and turned toward the start position and key went about halfway and stopped and all lights and dashboard went black,all electrical power went off. The car would not give me the key back. It was stuck in the ignition for about 1 1/2 hours until ers arrived. I tried pressing the brake and turning the steering wheel but it would still not give me the key. Meanwhile, the dash board starting flashing on and off and I heard a constant clicking noise. I called emergency roadside assistance and they came and gave me a boost and car started right up with no problems. My battery and alternator are completely fine.
Put key into key switch and turn toward start position and key went about halfway and stopped and all lights and dashboard went black,all electrical power went off. Finially after moving steering wheel and moving key back and forth was able to pull key out of ignition switch. Then when I put key back into ignition switch and tried to start car all I heard was a click,click so battery was dead,called ers and they came and gave me a boost and car started right up with no problems and service rep. Checked battery and alternator and they were operating fine. Called my dealership where I bought car and told them what happened but they never had a problem like that so they were no help. I called g. M. And talked to them but they never lyheard of that problem either so here I am with a car that has a problem which no one has heard of. .
