I've fought references to the "Safety Lockout Switch" on various forums and will give this a try when I get home from work tonight. I'll post the results after.

This worked to solve the issue and took all of five minutes.

I disconnected the plunger wire and so far so good. Any long term problems with leaving that disconnected?

ok - now my 2014 is starting to have the same issue, pulling the plug on it today, PITA when the key gets stuck.

If you pull the plug does that mean the key can be put into the off position and removed when in gear?

I ended up replacing the solenoid and the problem continued. Bit the bullet and took it back to the dealership. They replaced the shifter and solved the problem. They said it was an $800 repair. Luckily I bought the extended warranty so I only had to pay a deductible.

Wife's 2014 Camaro has had it happen twice. It's at the dealer now. First time it was under warranty. This time it's not. Quote was $550 to replace the shifter

Read these second time around problems, I feel like this fix is looming in my future as well.

Meet the new shifter. Same as the old shifter. We don’t get fooled again. Come on, GM.
