Description of the problem	Purchased vehicle new 11/1/10 and have had intermittent problem ("the problem") which i have reported to local dealers and brought to their shops and just recently realized this problem had been identified exactly as ts-12-at-018: "after vehicle is shifted to park, the button or ignition key button is turned off, the accessory power remains on." chronology - 2/21/12; 26,995 miles, lia of hartford - shift knob replacement (still had the problem afterward); 10/21/14, 74,730 mi, lia, eclip on shifter (still had the problem afterward); 2/10/16; 94,814 mi key of manchester, (recalls: engine shavings, brake pedal stopper, front right inside door handle) - they were unable to replicate the problem so no repair made; 11/29/16, 107,014 mi - key manch, they identified noted tsb associated with the problem even stating car manufacture date in range for the problem - but after asking, manufacturer won't cover cost or even portion - and i had to pay diagnosis charge of $62. 50 (which they said they reduced by 50% - and also recommended replacing my timing belt, but i believe car has a chain which doesn't need to be replaced). I have had at least 10 repairs done to my car that were covered by the manufacturer, including one for a tsb after the 60,000 mile warranty expired (the eclip). In addition, i have paid for repairs that i think should have been covered (a new starter due to a known problem with an internal plastic lever, and replacement of the inside driver door handle - noting the replacement of the inside passenger door handle was paid for 2 years later). My request - repair this ongoing problem which has been intermittent and requires me to repeatedly turn the car back on, move the shift lever out of park, until i can completely shut the vehicle off. The problem may be a safe issue, since i hear a load click when it finally does go into park and i can turn off car.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
