Description of the problem | When the car is put in park the keys automatically lock in the ignition and cannot be removed. When searching the internet for this issue it came up numerous amounts of times. Someone found out the issue that subaru installed faulty connectors near the shifter. That is supposed to send a signal to the steering wheel in order to release the keys from the ignition. However that signal is not always sent because the electrical components do not connect when it is put into park. Driver's only have a temporary solution of shifting it into drive then back into park multiple times while trying to pull the keys out. My car is currently out of warranty due to mileage however it is only 4 years old and should be replaced by a recall, since this is a safety issue as keys may be locked in the vehicle in order for the automobile to be stolen. |
