| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Intermittently unable to remove keys from ignition, as though the electrical system is not detecting the car is in park. Work-around is usually to pump brakes, move from drive back to park, sometimes restarting ignition and then trying again. Sometimes this requires several attempts. Found service bulletin #16-112-18r, but subaru is not covering costs of repair if vehicle is out of warranty. Based on the number of vehicles impacted, this should truly be a recall. |
