Yeah, the first time it happened to me I was like "WTF?!?!?! Can't pull the key out?" Hooked up the charger and an hour later everything was back to normal. Gotta love the Hummer!

It is intended to work that way as a theft deterrent, it is not by accident. Not to mention it makes it extremely obvious your battery is dead.

I could explain it, but it would appear you already know everything about Hummers.
