#1 of 4 2006 Aveo-key stuck in ignition & car in park by sammer17 Jul 08, 2009 (7:06 pm)
Ok this is my second or third post with 2006 Aveo car problems.   Todays problem is I went to leave work put my key in, started my car & the damm thing would not shift out of park. So I turned my car off and my key wont come out. It will only go down to ACC position.   In order to drive my car right now I have to use the shift release lock and to get the key out of the ignition I have to disconect the car battery.   Im taking it in to the dealer tomorrow but just wondered if by chance anyone else has had this problem and if so what is it.   Also anyone reading this who is even thinking of buying an Aveo DONT!!!!!!

Replying to: sammer17 (Jul 08, 2009 7:06 pm) For anyone who is having the same problem I had........its the Solenoid Switch which is located in the centre console. If by chance its not that one there is another Solenoid Switch (BTSI) located near/under the break peddle. If your break light aren't working then its this switch.   Now the part cost about $47.00. My boyfriend fixed mine for me only took about an hour. Dealer was going to charge me about $560 to fix it.   Hope this helps anyone whos having the same issue!

Replying to: sammer17 (Jul 08, 2009 7:06 pm) I agree the problem is in the park switch under the center console.   The switches don't usually go bad but the tabs that hold them in usually snap off because they are cheap and chinsy. What it does is instead of staying in place it moves out of place when you put the vehicle in park. So instead of flipping the switch and telling it its in park. The switch housing slide instead of the switch and the car still thinks it's in gear.   In other words if you can just find a way to secure the switch and keep it from moving you won't have to buy one.

Replying to: juniorvii (Aug 11, 2009 10:48 am) I also had this problem a year ago and took it into the dealer and had it fixed. Now I'm having problems with getting my key out again and the shifter is loose...it's like something broke in there. If it gets in park just right then I can get my keys out...Anyone know what's going on here?
