problem in theft security system it has to be reprogrammed to new key new ignition switch key lock system. dealership fix need diagnostic eqquipment to reprogram new ignition key and ignition switch lock cylinder to the immobilizer control module and ECM.
yes. I would use the dealer or a shop that knows your GM car and has the tools to do the job. A locksmith may be able to remove the key, that way you may not need to replace everything.
There is a TSB on this issues if your having ignition lock issues.

there is a little plastic tab under the ignition. pull it out and there should be a button in there just keep rooting arround with your finger and try to turn the key too.
Could be a problem with key in ignition switch located on the side of the lock cylinder inside steering column. The one I worked on this was part of whats called clockspring assembly witch will be a dealer only part. Then you cut the two wire swtch off and splice it in so you don't have to remove steering wheel and replace the whole clockspring assembly. Might also be problem with ignition switch (inside column) that key lock cylinder ingages into. I have a couple of questions. Is power going to the dash and just not the starter? Is the security light on all the time and dosn't cycle out? There should be a anti theft reset precedure like leaving key on till light goes out. Good luck hope this helped
Does anyone know what the recalled part is for the Chevy Cobalt that causes the key to get stuck in the ignition? I would greatly appreciate any help on this as I do not have $600 to get it fixed.
