Consumer Description

THE KEY STICKS IN THE IGNITION WHENEVER I TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. IT TAKES AWHILE BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GET IT OUT, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY ALREADY. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR ION OWNERS. WITH IT BEING SO COMMON I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN DONE. I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
