| Description of the problem | I parked & locked my car walked away from it for 10 mins, when i cam back i was able to unlock the car the side mirror folded out. When i placed the key in the ignition the key turned but the engine did not start nor could i take the gear out of park. The dash had a message stating remove key from ignition. Thinking that the battery was dead i had the battery replace. I took it to a mechanic and was told that the problem was with the ignition switch & steering lock assembly. Tr |
