I am writing to you with regards to my chevy aveo 2009 lt,with automatic transmission. My wife usually drives this car and last week, suddenly my car wouldn't stop running. She was at her work place and she took off the keys but later realized the car was still running, so she returned back and couldn't shut off the engine.. So I had to leave my work and take the car to a chevy dealership to find out it was a problem with a faulty ignition switch, but said it was not part of the recent GM ignition switch recall.
