The ignition key in my 2011 chevy aveo will not turn to start the car. This only happens occassionally (3 times in six months). I can get the key to turn by rocking the car but only with some considerable force. The GM dealership of course could not find anything wrong. Any suggestions?

google how to program fob for 2011 chevy malibu for more info

On the Chevy key fob, press and hold the "Unlock" and "Lock" buttons at the same time until you hear the door lock and unlock again. This means you're all set. Re-insert the programmed key back into the ignition to the "On" position to finish the Chevy key fob programming process

It sounds like a bad electrical connection on the ignition switch (black cap) for the starter circuit (worn or burnt contacts) New electrical switch required, it is separate from the steering lock, it is clipped or screwed onto back of lock and just plugs into the wiring. Hope that helps.

turn off the car put the key on on,press the gas pedal two times then the third time hold down until the light starts flashing.then turn it to offthe key and start it.It should go out.

My Chevy cruze anti theft locked on me it was as simple as my key was faulty used extra key and guess what engine started key was damaged

so my understanding is you turned wheel and locked wheel and now cannot turn key ? need to turn the wheel some to remove the pressure off the lock and then turn key while holding wheel.

try turning the steering wheel side to side while pulling on the key, the steering wheel will be locked, but just keep trying, it will eventually come out.

Not all replacement parts are good. I would guess that the new ignition switch is bad. Its also possible that the wiring harness is loose where its connected to the ignition switch. You could try jiggling the wires.

push gear shift to left when in park and turn key off at the same time.
