Description of the problem	Around 7/8/19 my key started getting stuck in the on position car running. I to be after reading complaints and seen there was an extended warranty on the steering lock so they fixed that no problem. When i got the car back the key was already in ignition. I went to gas station took key out and opened door and it was chiming like the keys were still on the ignition i couldn't even use the key fob to lock doors. I took back to be on 8/2/19 told them i had no problems til they worked on it so they didn't charge me a diagnostic fee when they called to say that the tumbler was bad and that wasn't covered by the extended warranty.
