| Description of the problem | Key gets stuck in the ignition. Can't remove the key regardless of pushing, turning, putting parking break on, parking break off. Have been stuck with road side assistance four times this black friday weekend. So wrong. Read several other complaints concerning this issue and steering wheel issues. Subaru should recall the 2016 outback prez 2. 5i and premium 2. 5i. Duds for ignitions. Safety issue while traveling and safety issue if car can't be left unattended. Have to wait until monday morning to see if i can get an appointment to get it fixed so i can make it home safely and get the key out of the ignition when i get there. Love scooby but this seriously stinks. |
