Description of the problem	The ignition switch started to make a clicking noise while driving. When i turn the ignition off it will not turn all the way off and the key or fobik gets stuck and will not come out. The power stays on. Perhaps 1 hour later or longer i can go out and it will turn off and allow the key to be removed. If i forget to go back out to retrieve the key the battery runs low and the car will not stop. I'm stranded. When i park and go anywhere the care is not secure with the key in the igntion, anyone can open the door and steal the car.
