Some Chevrolet Aveo owners report experiencing issues with the ignition interlock relay, which can lead to gear shift problems and the key getting stuck in the ignition. These relay failures may prevent the gear shift from operating properly and can result in significant repair costs, averaging around $630 for parts and labor. Additionally, some owners find that a worn key can cause alignment issues within the ignition cylinder, contributing to the key sticking. In cases where the battery is dead, it is recommended to charge or jump-start it, as this can sometimes help release the ignition lock mechanism and resolve key-related issues. Promptly addressing these ignition interlock relay failures is essential for ensuring the vehicle operates correctly.
