NHTSA Complaint #10514940 — 2006 MERCURY MILAN

PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND MY KEY REFUSED TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK/DRIVE TO SEE IF THE IGNITION WILL UNLOCK, BUT IT IS NOT COMMUNICATING THAT IT IS IN PARK (STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK, I ALSO CAN'T TURN THE KEY BACKWARDS AND PUT INTO AUXILIARY MODE. IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD THING IF I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY. BESIDES THE FACT THAT THE STUPID DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BUSTED TOO WHICH IS A SECURITY ISSUE ALONG WITH A SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T A CONSUMER RELY ON A CAR MANUFACTURE TO ISSUE PARTS THAT DON'T BREAK OR MALFUNCTION... I SEE ONLINE THAT LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE... AS THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE? MAYBE ITS TIME TO BUY A CHEVY. *TR
