Consumer Description

I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND COULD NOT PULL MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND SHIFTED GEARS ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE THE KEY. THIS DID NOT WORK. IT PROGRESSIVELY HAD GOTTEN WORSE OVER A FEW DAYS INTERMITTENTLY I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE KEY UNTIL THE FINAL DAY. I READ OTHERS COMPLAINTS AND USED THE RELEASE UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN AS SUGGESTED AND IT WORKED, I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE KEY. NOW I GUESS I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALLED SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
