Description of the problem | Mutiple times when the car is stopped and put into park,regardless of where, the key will not come out of the ignition. The switch can be turned off, but the key will not come out of the ignition. The gear shift has to be manipulated multiple times between drive and park in order to ever remove the key. This makes it quite difficult to run errands or to take a trip, not knowing if the ability to remove the key will be possible. And, of course, if the key has to be left in, the possibility of theft would be great. Car is not recognizing the gear shift is in park. On one occasion, i had to leave the key in the car in my driveway, but this runs the battery down. Dealer where i am taking car to be repaired as well as the subaru of america contact, advised me this is a regular occurrence and subaru is well aware of what is happening. I feel this should be put on the recall status! This has happened on multiple occasions since buying the car on june 5, 2020. Today's date is 08/14/20. Repair will be made monday, 08/17/20. |
