2012 Chevrolet Captiva Problems, complaints & recalls

I bought my car used a year ago. I had this same issue about 8 months ago for a short time but now it keeps happening everything I turn my ignition key off. My key won't come out it gets stuck on the ACC, I think that's what it's called, its been about 7 or 8 weeks now but its getting worse. And when I was trying to turn my car off and get my key out my car started roll backwards, this has happened 2 times in the last 10 days. I have 2012 chevrolet captiva. Has there been any recalls regarding this issue?

My shifter doesn't recognize that its in park and won't let me remove my keys. It gets stuck on ACC and I can't turn my key/ignition to the off position. And for the 3rd time it's like popped outta gear. I bought it used. This started 2 months ago but for the 10 days its continually gotten worse. 8 outta 10 times I go to put it in park and I can't get key out. I haven't had it inspected or looked or anything else like that. I Googled it and i read up on how this is an issue for 2012 to 2014 Chevrolet Captiva. But no recall for 2012 year. I don't know what time do. There was no accidents regarding this issue.

The car will stall and shut off, the radio quits working and the key will get stuck in the ignition.

The component that has failed has been the transmission and the AC. My safety was at risk because the car wouldn't drive forward whilst on the road. It has been confirmed by independent service. Yes the problem has been inspected by representatives. There was a warning that was said "Check transmission engine"

On my 2012 cheverolet captiva lt .I had the emergency brakes on with the car in drive an I went to open my gates the car jumps out of the parking brakes if the engine idles go up just a little when the air conditioning comes on .Or if you are in drive with the emergency brakes up and just revs the engine the brakes jumps out really easy. No safety to this emergency brakes.

Unknown, car will shut off while driving and turn back on while flashing service traction control. In some cases it will completely turn off and I will have to put transmission in park and re crank it in the middle of traffic. Power steering goes out while driving aswell as other issues. Locks go in and out while driving. No known cause to this as battery and alternator is good and I've replaced BCM and reprogrammed it but still having the same issue

While driving on an interstate, the voltage suddenly began to decrease. Within a few minutes, the car died on the highway. we were able to get it to the shoulder. No electrical equipment worked, including the emergency lights. After taking it to a garage, the mechanic said the alternator was working fine, but the battery was drained. He was able to start and run the car, but the computer indicated that a long-term memory issue with the computer, itself, was indicated. Also, previous to this, the transmission had to be rebuilt. Maybe DumDum should declare that all Americans made vehicles are presumed to be defective, and subject to a recall!

The battery cables are faulty and overheat causing the car to shut off and lock key in the ignition with complete loss of power this is happening to nearly every Chevy captiva and is a wide spread issue this is also a serious fire hazard as the cables over heating is enough to boil water car shuts off and locks key in ignition without warning

Engine light came on lost compressions. Engine wouldn't turn off. Steering was loose like we were on water. Traction control and stabilitrac were disabled and unable to turn bsvjninuiHas to press breaks to the floor. If I was going any faster I could have lost control. The repair shop replaced the fuse box and Bcm not even 3 miles engine light came back on and it misfires, pistons problems, compression. I called the dealership I bought it from and they state it's safe!

I am not sure what component could be one could be several. When I pulled into my driveway and put it in park. The engine light came on and the stereo went off. When checking the stereo would not turn back on and nothing on the instrument panel would work, heater/air conditioning, rear wipers, heated seats, hazard lights, the parking/emergency break literally nothing. So I turned the key in the ignition to the off position took the key out and the engine continued to run? I called onstar from the vehicle and...

Vehicle has a know oil useage problem. Have to check to make sure it is not low between oil changes. In the past I had it start to cut out if I was sitting at a stop light & had to put my foot on the brake & the gas pedal to keep it from quitting. Only happened occasionally & never gave it more thought till about a month ago. Was sitting in my car while it was idling and it just quit. Started it back up & it did it again. Thank goodness I was sitting in a driveway not on a highway. It drove terrible on the...

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Captiva. The contact stated that while his engine was off, the vehicle had caught fire and burned out on its own. The contact discovered the failure upon the entrance of the vehicle and saw smoke within the cabin. The vehicle would not start and was towed to the dealer. The contact was then informed that the climate control module had caused a fire within the vehicle and the module was replaced. After the repair, the check engine light would intermittently illuminate on the...

Numerous complaints have been filed on the internet and to the NHTSA concerning the electrical system on this vehicle. Include engine not starting when turn key, car starts to have flashing instrument panel light and then dying, failure to be able to remove the key when turning off the ignition, most dangerous issue is the electrical system failing when on the highway, dealers seem to be aware of the problem but have not corrected problem which is probably related to positive and negative battery cables and...

Unable to remove key from ignition when vehicle is in park. It would stick in the auxiliary position. I could restart the engine but I could not turn the vehicle completely off. This started a couple of years ago and would happen randomly. Over time it became more frequent before it finally wasn't coming out at all. I would have to leave my key in the car and disconnect the battery after use. I took it to the dealership and had the transmission control shifter replaced. Following this repair I started having...

Sometimes when driving all the electrical equipment will turn off for a brief moment. When this happens all the warning lights come on. Sometimes prior to this happening the dashboard lights will begin to flicker. Service lights such as "service traction control" will come on then go off, the headlights would noticably flicker and the cruise control would randomly turn off. This problem has not been replicated by the independent garage it was taken too however there were codes for low and high voltages thrown. The...

Key gets locked in the ignition. Always not sometimes all the time. Just purchased this vehicle is parked and cant drive it without leaving the key inside

Brake caliper locked up and caught on fire causing the car to burn to the car to burn to the ground.

I have brought my vehicle to chevy and was advised that they could not find anything wrong with the traction control or the radio. Every so often the traction control light comes on and states that the traction control needs to be serviced when the vehicle is running idle for more than 30 seconds. When that comes on the radio blinks on and off. In the past two weeks, the vehicle had to get jumped twice. Took the vehicle to get tested at two different auto stores and was advised after they tested the battery that...

Having numerous issues. The first one is that the ignition when switched to off will not release the key. Does not turn all the way to release the key out. Had it swapped out and still having the same issue. Something about a release inside the colum that will not fully disengage second issue is that my car will lock as well as unlock its self. The car can be off and parked or even driving down the road. The hatch release as well will disengage and pop open. Took it to shops and dealers.

Stability control and break warning constantly..Had breaks completely repaired twice within the 2 years of purchasing it..Only has 160,000 miles. Lighting wiring issue malfunction.

Key remains locked in the tumbler in the off position. This also drains the battery.

While driving - or even sitting still - radio and clock will shut off, "service stabilitrack light" illuminates on dash with the message showing on the message center dash display. After 5 seconds or so, it disappears; however occurs often but no consistent (sometimes none at all, some times 4 or so times in a 20mi drive). Battery and alternator are brand new (alternator has been replaced twice in 12 months). Vehicle is owned outright and has 142,000+ miles.

My husband was driving and the vehicle was in motions, he hit the breaks and came to a quick stop and the vehicle from behind bumped him at about 20 miles an hour. It set off the airbag dash light, but the airbags did not deploy. The dealership diagnosed a problem with the steering wheel canister or coil for the airbag, and a rear sensor in the bumper of the vehicle. I am wondering if this is related to the takata air bag recall. It has not had a car accident since we have owned it in 2017. I am unsure when this happened. It was in the last year.

OIL CONSUMPTION

1. After driving to any locations, for example, grocery stores, train station parking lot in my neighborhood, the key would not come out of the ignition, but shut down the engine. Then after 15-30 minutes, there is always a click, and once I turned the key , it starts the car suddenly. This has occurred twice the past few months, and my chevyl dealership had worked on this issue. Yet, it has started curring again the past 2 days 07/19/2020, after they worked on it since12/04/2019. 2. There is also a jump surge when slowing down to stop when traffic is moving slowly, and as I tried to drive forward or when turning from a stop sign.
