Consumer Description
2011 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. INSERT KEY TO START ENGINE. WHEN I WANT TO TURN OFF ENGINE, THE KEY WILL NOT GO PAST ACC. I PUSH IN THE KEY AND TRY TO TURN KEY INTO THE LOCK POSITION, IT WILL NOT GO INTO THE LOCK POSITION. I HAVE TO FIDDLE AROUND WITH THE RELEASE SWITCH, AND SHIFTER ON THE SHIFTER ARM. EVENTUALLY I CAN GET THE KEY OUT. THE ENGINE DOES SHUT OFF, BUT CAN'T LEAVE CAR, BECAUSE IT CAN BE STARTED AGAIN. I CAN'T LEAVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR CAN BE STARTED WITHOUT ME BEING THERE. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO KING HYUNDAI FL, TWICE, WITHOUT THEM FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THEM TO REPLACE SOME PARTS TO THE SHIFTER ARM. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK, I WILL INVOKE THE LEMON LAW. *TR
