| Description of the problem | Currently at least a couple times a week, my key gets stuck in the ignition while shutting off vehicle to park. You can turn the vehicle off, but you can't remove the key. If i fiddle with the shifter and rotate the steering wheel, restart the vehicle, and shift it into drive, and then slam it back into park, then i can turn the vehicle off and the key will come out. . But sometimes i have to repeat the procedure a few times. This started when vehicle was approx a year old and i thought that maybe i had the steering wheel not in the correct location for the key to be removed as time passed the problem gradually got worse. I then did some research and found that a lot of others have experienced this same issue. |
