| Description of the problem | This problem has happened numerous times and continues to do so. When the van is running and in park it will not shift out of park unless i play with the key (jostle it around) the shift lever then is very hard to shift (as if it is half engaged). When the van is off i try to start the car but it doesn't start unless i remove the key and put it back in numerous times. The key has come out while it was running and i could not turn the car off until i put it back in the ignition and played with it for a few minutes. From the forums i have read this sounds exactly like what is happening with the recalled ignition parts but my vin number doesn't seem to be on that recall list? There is no key-chain on the keys and never had any. |
