| Description of the problem | When i went to start my car i could not start my car the key switch keeps locking and then the steering wheel will lock up when u are trying to get the key out and i was even pushing on the brake to get it to release the lock it took five minutes to finally to get the key to turn to start the car. I have had it one day where i could not turn the car off and the key was stuck in it and the dealer ship could not even get the car to shut off or get the key to turn it was also stuck in it . I'm worried about being somewhere where i can't start the car or the key stuck in it and it's locked up all together for good i've heard there been complaints about the same problem and if it's gonna be fixed or not |
