Consumer Description

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION. IT WOULD STICK AFTER I HAD REMOVED THE KEY, AND THE CHIME WOULD SOUND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. THEN STARTING ABOUT 2 OR 3 WEEKS AGO, MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE KEY IN AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO THE IGNITION COMPLETELY. HE FINALLY WORKED IT IN AND WE HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT AND PUTTING IT BACK IN SINCE THAT DAY. THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED ON THIS DATE IS THAT THE KEY, EVEN THOUGH IT GOES ALL THE WAY INTO THE IGNITION, IT WILL NOT TURN THE CYLINDER. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR, AND IT MUST BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CYLINDER REPLACED. *NM
