Description of the problem	When i go to park my 2017 subaru legacy, i put my car in park and the key will not turn. It gets stuck and the engine will not turn off. Consequently, i am not able to turn off my car and take my key out. The dealer told me to back up my car and thrust my gear shifter into park. Then i was able to turn the key off. However, the situation continues to happen every time that i drive the car. It is clearly an issue with the engine/car as this never happened prior. I was told that subaru's frequently have defective solenoids that holds the key in when the car is running might be defective. I have not yet seen a recall.
