Consumer Description

THE IGNITION KEY CONTINUED TO GET STUCK IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND REFUSING TO TURN UNTIL I'D CONTINUE TO FIDDLE WITH IT, SOMETIMES FOR OVER 30 MINUTES. VERY FRUSTRATING. THE KEY HAS FINALLY QUIT TURNING AT ALL. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT HOWARD'S TOWING BEING REPAIRED. THE ENTIRE COLUMN IS BEING REPLACED. VERY EXPENSIVE. VERY UNHAPPY. *TR
