Consumer Description

LUCKILY THIS OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED. OUR STEERING WHEEL & KEY IGNITION WERE IN A LOCKED POSITION. WE WERE STARTING THE CAR, AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. WE THOUGHT WE JUST NEEDED TO NUDGE THE WHEEL, BUT IT DID NOT NUDGE. FOUR DIFFERENT PEOPLE TRIED TO NO AVAIL. FINALLY BROUGHT INTO DEALER - NOTED THE CYLINDER IGNITION LOCK NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS OCCUR ON ANY OTHER CAR, AND SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING ! *TR
