The key is getting stuck in the ignition switch. I researched online and it appears to be a common defect with many of the Chevy trucks. This is a big safety concern.

2021 Chevrolet Colorado shifter would not work properly When put into park it would not allow me to turn the key all the way to the left and therefore would not allow me to remove the key. So my truck is only 3 years old, I keep up with preventative maintenance and this should not have happened. It just cost me $518.97 to get repaired. My husband and a friend both have Chevrolet (Malibu and Blazer) and both also have shift problems. Seems to me that Chevrolet has issues with their shifts.

If you review the Chevrolet Colorado for the last number of years, one will find that there is an issue with the key not removing when turning the vehicle off. I am experiencing this problem with a 2021 Chevrolet Colorado. In some of the previous years the issue was referenced to a issue where the shifter needed repaired or replaced. My point is that it has been an ongoing problems for years which the NHTSA should demand that GM fix it without cost to the consumer. In my case, as a result of not being able to get the key out, it caused the battery to drain. It could easily leave someone stranded.

Oct 2023 Injury

The truck has only 40K miles on it. I was checking under the hood when without notice the heed dropped hitting me in the head and pinning my hand under the hood thus trapping me there. A rescuer released the hood release lever so I could escape. I had a lump on my head and my hand was /wrist was bruised. I am on blood thinners so I consider myself lucky. The stanchions that hold the hood open suddenly failed and will not hold the hood open.
