Description of the problem | Key gets stuck in ignition and the car needs to be restarted in order to remove key. This occurs when stationary and trying to remove key from ignition. Had this issue for a about a month before i took it in as subaru had a recall for wue90 stop light switch replacement and i thought it may be related as did my service provider at north park subaru or maybe had to do with steering. The problem was not solved, the repair was out of my pocket. The service provider reported 'erratic operation of park switch on shifter' and the shifter was replaced and problem is resolved. This appears a manufacturing flaw that should be recalled as many others report the same issue. The service provider also reported the same issue and stated many people had come in recently to have the same issue serviced. It maybe unethical that the service provider has not or did not appear to be reporting the matter. Car is less than three years old (when occured) and has 50k miles on it. |
