Description of the problem	When the car is stationary and shifted into park and ignition turned off, the key becomes stuck in the accessory position and key is not able to be removed. Exterior lighting and interior electronics remain on. Subaru is aware of this shift plate sensor malfunction is present in 2016 legacy and 2017 forrester models, as far as i know, but have not recalled them.
