Description of the problem	My car will not start. Battery was tested and is in good condition. When key is inserted the panel shows a message saying "please remove key". I had to tow my car to service center and i am still waiting for tech info on cause of problem. I have read in nhtsa website many complaints of the same nature. Seems there is a manufacturer defect on the electronic ignition system on this models. To me this is a serious security issue to owners. Imagine having it happen while car is running... The steering wheel locks and cannot be unlocked in any way. Car does not even crank. With steering wheel locked towers need to have special tools to handle car, not always available. I can not believe that with so many complaints already filed nhtsa has not ordered a recall on this matter. Are the computers on this model preprogrammed by manufacturer to stop working after certain time? *js
