Description of the problem	My forester will not release the keys from the ignition, even when i am very careful to put it in park. I understand that this is a well known problem, as they have a tsb 16-112-18r about it. When i contacted subaru of america, they refused to cover the cost of the repair due to the fact that the car is a 2013 model, even though it only has 36,000 miles on it. They instead provided a coupon for $250 toward the repair. I clearly cannot go anywhere with the car in this condition, as it requires leaving the car unlocked with the keys in the ignition. This happened when i pulled into my garage last evening. I feel very fortunate that i was not in a location where i had to leave the car.
