I went to start my car the key was immediately "locked" inside the ignition . . Locking everything in the car up, from the brakes to the electrical . You should be able to turn it 4x (a,b,c,d(on) it would not let you go past c. The key would not come out, I had it jumped in order to get the key out . I thought for sure it had to do with the ignition switch being recalled, but no hall Chevrolet said it was just the battery. So when your battery goes bad, it is normal for the key to be locked almost "eaten" by the ignition. There was no warning it was the battery, nothing. I have only owned the car 29 days. I really thought it was the ignition switch but dealership says no battery?.
