Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CAR A YEAR AGO-BRAND NEW. TWO DAYS AGO I PULLED UP TO WORK AND WENT TO TURN MY CAR OFF. THE KEY WOULD NOT COMPLETELY TURN ALL THE WAY AND WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED, SO THIS WAS NOT THE CAUSE. IT HAS BEEN THREE DAYS NOW AND IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. IT IS ON AND OFF, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THERE IS A CLEAR ISSUE. I EVEN WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. APPARENTLY SO. I FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE SAME MODEL CAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT WHEN CONTACTING THE DEALER, THEY ALREADY KNEW AND WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE EXACT ISSUE. CLEARLY THIS IS A DEFECT AND I HAVE NOT BOTHERED TAKING THE CAR IN BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CHARGED UPWARDS OF $300 AND THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. *TR
