Model Year	2016
File date	13/03/18
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was unable to remove the key from the ignition switch with the car stopped and the car was in "park" position. The car remained in the "accessory" ignition position (electrical accessories remained on) because the key would not go to the ignition lock position. I was therefore unable to lock the car steering or leave the vehicle unattended unless i had a separate set of keys with me. Even with another set of keys, the car's electrical system remained on and the car would easily be stolen or driven by an unauthorized user. I took the car to a subaru dealer and they repaired the car under warranty after a few days waiting for replacement parts. The dealer told me this is a known defect with subaru of america.
