Description of the problem	Steering lock ignition assembly. There were no signs or indications that something like this was going to occur. Thankfully i reached my destination, backed up in my yard and parked. I aproached my vehicle because i wanted to fill up for the remainder of the week, i unlocked my door, placed my key in the ignition switch, and nothing happened. The radio worked and also the interior lights. I took the key out and went to use the spare key, inserted it and while the door was opened the display told me to remove the key. This could present a very dangerous situation for a female with children in an unfamiliar setting. After reading up about the problem i see that i am not alone in my troubles. I think this malfunction should included in a recall because of the safety risks involved because it could occur at any time. Thankfully i was at home.
