The ignition in newer GM vehicles will not shut off if the battery is dead. Will not come out of park either. Put jumper cables or a jump box on it and problem solved. They are bad about battery drain because they have so many electronics. Hope this fixes it. Let us know.

Thats how I learned. I run a small car lot, and we cant keep batterys up on things like that. Cadillacs are the worst, we had a CTS and an SRX a few months ago and both of them had this problem. After we replced the batterys they were fine.
