NHTSA Complaint #10169956 — 2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

1) NONE 2) WHEN PARKING MY 2002 GRAND PRIX SE IT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY. THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF HOWEVER, THE SWITCH WILL NOT TURN BACK COMPLETELY TO RELEASE THE KEY. 3) THE ONLY SOLUTIONS THAT ONLY SOMETIMES WORK ARE TO A) MOVE TO A DIFFERENT PARKING SPOT AND TRY TURNING THE CAR OFF AGAIN WHICH RARELY WORKS, B) TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH UNTIL A "CLICK" IS HEARD THEN KEY CAN BE TAKEN OUT, OR C)SOMETIMES JUST MOVING THE SHIFTER FROM PARK DOWN THROUGH ALL GEARS AND BACK TO PARK AGAIN SOMETIMES WORKS. AND D) JUST LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR OVER 5 MINUTES OR SO WITH NO ACTION BEING TAKEN AND THEN A "CLICK" IS HEARD AND THE KEY CAN THEN BE RELEASED. SEE WWW.AUTOMOTIVEFORUMS.COM AND SEARCH "KEY STUCK IGNITION SWITCH" FOR NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE THIS FOR ALL YEARS OF PONTIAC GRAND PRIX'S. *JB
