Description of the problem | While the vehicle is stationary, the key gets stuck in the ignition when attempting to turn the car off. The motor shuts down, but the key will not turn completely to the removal location. I often have to turn the vehicle on and then quickly off in order to get the key to remove from the ignition. Sometimes putting the vehicle back into gear (reverse or drive) before returning the transmission to park is also required. Several attempts may be necessary before successfully removing the key from the ignition. This problem started suddenly in the last month and occurs at least 50% of the time when the vehicle is used. |
