Exclamation 2009 Wouldn't turn off

I had trouble a while back with my 2009, 2LT. I got home on a Friday and could not turn the car off. Luckily, the dealer is near and they could look at right away. It sat, running for almost two hours but they changed out the cylinder, no charge.
It would have been bad any other time. It worked out well but it could have been anywhere and without a dealer in sight. I lucked out.

Thank you for the additional information. Do you plan to take the vehicle into the dealership to get this taken care of?

Were you able to take the vehicle in and get it taken care of yet?

Thank you for sharing what you experienced with your vehicle and the dealership. I am glad they were able to get this taken care of at no cost to you. Are you still smooth sailing with this?

Was yours done at no charge or do you need to submit a reimbursement form? Please, let me know how things go when you take your wife's HHR in.

Cost is $110.13

When the dealer service record for the replacement of the ignition lock cylinder was added to the my.chevrolet.com web site it indicated the cost to be $110.13. Thought those of you who have to pay for the repair yourself might be interested in the cost. GM covered my replacement through program 12045.
