Consumer Description

WHILE TURNING VEHICLE OFF I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM THE IGNITION CYLINDER. DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO LUBRICATE THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER AND THE GEAR SELECTOR SWITCH THE KEY STILL REMAINS STUCK IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER. THIS PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY GROWN WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND KEY REMOVAL FAILURE OCCURS 98% OF THE TIME. *KB
