Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Captiva Sport owners report experiencing issues with their ignition key getting stuck, which can lead to power loss and remote lock failure due to suspected electrical problems. These issues may arise from a binding steering column or lock, a faulty ignition switch, or problems with the ignition key itself. Additionally, electrical failures such as a dead battery or a malfunctioning ignition cylinder can disrupt the ignition process, causing the key to remain stuck. Some owners find that a worn-out key or misaligned transmission may also contribute to this issue. It is advisable to check the fuse labeled KEY CAPTURE in the fuse box, as a blown fuse can prevent the key from releasing. Furthermore, problems with the negative battery assembly have been known to cause intermittent issues, and replacing the battery cable assembly could potentially resolve these concerns. Addressing these underlying issues is crucial for ensuring the proper functioning of the Chevrolet Captiva Sport and preventing recurrence of the problem.
