The entire shift mechanism should be looked at. The shifter mechanism may be worn or bent . Also the ignition switch may not be signaling the shifter inter-lock mechanism. Also, if the inter-lock mechanism is loose, out of adjustment, or damaged, the shifter may not get the signal that the brake pedal is depressed. Any of these components being worn,out of adjustment,etc, can make the ignition switch think that the vehicle is not in Park thereby allowing the key to be removed.
gm did have a recall for this problem on aprox 2.5 million vehicles a call to the dealer may/will confirm.
good luck sorry I don't have a quick fix.

Firstly, change the battery in the key fob, next, make sure the car is in park when removing key, try stepping on the brake pedal too. Next, have the ignition switch tested..the key cylinder should not be worn out on a 3-4 year old vehicle? Also verify battery has power.

SOURCE: key fob remote start issues

You need to get one that works on the same wide range frequency as the reciever in the car, and then it's a simple matter of opening both the new and old fobs, and matching the fine frequency settings by putting the little switches inside where they should be according to the old fob's switches. If there are no switches in the old fob, it's preset and there's not much you can do about it.

SOURCE: key fob lights up but doesn't work even with a new battery

I'm more familiar with Range Rovers and Saab's when it comes to key fobs but if you changed the battery you have to re-program the key fob. If you do not have an owner's manual that can take you through the steps you might want to try: push and hold the lock button on the key fob, put it in the driver's side door and turn to lock. With the button still depressed turn back to open, remove the key and release the button. If this doesn't work check any and all fuses associated with your system and last but not least you could take it to a dealer. Good luck!

I have a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. It only came with one key when I got it from the dealership. The key broke off the key fob. The key fob will unlock and lock the car but when i turn the car on, it says no...

Put some crazy glue at the end of the key but not too much that is going to drip inside the keyhole of the ignition and see if that will glue two broken keys back together and wait 5 minutes and then pull it out you do have to hold the key pushing in so that the glue will work

When put fob, no cluster lights, no crank, no start!

That key reset it's code like every 60 secs... do you have other keys around it that are also for that car... if so they might both be changing codes at the same time.

1997 Chevy Blazer four way flashers working but no left or right turn signals work, help!

find your owners manual, use it to find your fuse panel, read the legend and locate the turn signal flasher and the emergency flasher, exchange them as they are identical. make a mental note to drop by a car parts store and pick up a replacement some day. when you get the replacement, put it in the signal flasher socket and put the old one back into the emergency flasher socket.
