This should be a warranty related issue. Contact the dealer.
I asked the question and should have realized that the answer would have been to start with a dealer as it is probably a warrenty item. Problem is, the truck was purchased by my deceased Dad in Texas and I am in California. But I will call a Chevy dealer to see if it still falls under a warrenty which is active. Thanks CB

What is problem when my 2000 jeep Cherokee won't start because the Key won't turn and ignition is locked up?
Try tuging on the steering wheel while trying to turn the key. Check the position of the front wheels, they can transmit tension back up the steering colum and lick the ignition switch.
Key is stuck in the ignition of 94' Chevy blazer in the on position the key turns on but wont turn off to take key out..HELP?
The gear mechanisms in the steering column may have busted.. also you can try to rotate the steering while,if this doesn't help do it with pair of pliers..got it?!no?!call a locksmith.... Locksmith reply: You can use the pliers to turn it back to the off position but the ignition will need to be replaced. It's pretty common on GM vehicles. Most the time it is just the lock itself that is causing the problem.
BMW E32 1988 ignition switch REMOVE AND REPAIR Can turn enough to release steering lock BUT not as far as accessory position?
MORE DETAIL The ignition switch turns just enough to release the steering lock, but not as far as the Accessory position. The following link illustrates the problem. http://evansweb.info/articles/2003/01/19/removing-the-ignition-lock-barrel The cylinder does not turn far enough to use this removal method. Drill a small hole at 3 o'clock on the tumbler and drive a small finishing nail in to release the tumbler.

Your key gets stuck in your ignition to your 2001 Buick Regal Only after shifting back and forth to park will it release Is this a wiring problem?
My 1999 Regal had the same problem. The problem is a switch in the gear shift mechanism in the console. It intermitantly is working. The dealer wanted to replace the complete shift mechanism in the console for $381. That was to expensive for me so I took the console apart to get to the shifter and disconected the wiring plug on the front of it and using a tester determined which wire was hot and which one went to the steering column to release the key. I then spliced in a small rocker switch to bypass the one in the shifter and mounted it in the console next to the traction control button. Simply flip the switch to on before you turn the car off, remove the key and then flip the switch back to off. The cost was about $7 plus sweat.
Buick Skylark shaking in high gear?
Well, if you have the same problem mine has, it's the steering mechanism. The CV joints, the tie-rods, etc.... Or it could be a simpler problem like the tires being out of balance. But I would check the steering no matter what.
Why won't my 1989 gmc 1500 shift out of park with the key on?
When the steering wheel unlocks,the shifter sometimes does not..Turn on key,see that the steering wheel is unlocked,then turn the wheel back andforth till the shifter releases.If it won't release,the plastic component in the column is broken. . .Very rarely does the plastic break,it just gets worn,thus making it hard to release. . .Parking on a hill without the Ebrake is what causes this to wear. . .Pull the upper column apart and replace the plastic mechanism and you will cure the problem. . . . . .
The service steering system light keeps coming on a 1997 cadillac?
You will need to have the codes checked for your steering system but most of the time the problem is a bad steering position sensor which is located at the bottom of the steering column on the inside of the car. I have seen defective YAW Rate sensors cause this problem but very very rare.
What makes the steering wheel lock on a 2003 Hyundai and how do you unlock it?
Steering wheels are generally locked from the ignition switch. It is supposed to lock only in the OFF position. If you steering locks in any other key position, you likely have a problem with the linkage rod or cable that connects the ignition lock cylinder to the steering column. You have to take apart the dash and possibly the steering column to fix this.

What causes intermittent power steering electrically on 97 suburbans?
One common problem is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor, located at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle), tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel. When faulty, it will cause lurching and surging in the steering - feels like loose parts.
What causes the Steering wheel to move side ways on my 1989 Celebrity?
If you have a tilt steering column the movement is caused by the tilt mechanism literally coming apart. I had several cars with that problem, I went to a junkyard and bought replacement columns that were in good condition and replaced the entire column.

How do you fix a 2000 Volvo s40 turn signal that works but does not stay engaged?
I have the same problem, and I just chose to live with it. You need to have access to the switch mechanism, and have a good look at it. It is most likely a worn out/broken plastic somewhere, so it may be fixable with epoxy to reconstruct the worn out thing. You need to take off the plastic covers around the steering column, and get to see it. Only then you'll know whether you can fix it, or if you need to replace something.
