| Description of the problem | My car has 55,000 miles. Recently, i am not able to remove my key from the ignition. I am able to stop the engine but i am not able to turn off all the electronics. I have to stop and start, back up or pull forward (which i am not always able to do) the car a number of times to get the key to come out. My daughter also has a 2016 subaru outback. She had the same problem at about the same mileage, had the ignition switch replaced for $600. 00 and is now having the same problem again 1 year later. This problem is common enough that subaru put a technical repair bulletin out on it tsb #16-12-18r but has not done a recall. |
