NHTSA Complaint #10587661 — 2000 BUICK REGAL

ON OR AROUND OCTOBER 2013, I STARTED EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY IN TURN IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND REMOVING KEY. NOW ITS WORSEN WHERE I SPEND ANYWHERE 5 MINS. TO 15 MIN TRYING TO REMOVE THE KEY. ONLY WAY I CAN DO THAT IS BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR MOVING THE GEAR SELECTOR BACK AN FORTH TILL IT DECIDES IT RELEASE THE KEY.I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ANTI-THEFT IN COLUMN THAT WAS LOCKING UP. I'M SCHEDULED TO HAVE A NEW IGNITION INSTALLED AFTER REPLACING THE OLD KEY WITH A NEW KEY. I LIKE TO MAKE SURE THIS IS COVERED BEFORE I SINK ANYMORE MONEY INTO IT. I DEPEND ON THE CAR TO MAKE TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND SUCK I OFTEN AM LATE FOR BECAUSE I"M IN THE PARKING LOT PLAYING SPIN THE WHEEL. THE OTHER FACTOR IS STEERING WHEEL GET EXTREMELY HOT WHEN DRIVING AT TIMES. WHERE I HAVE TO PUT ON GLOVES TO DRIVE. I REPLACED ALL THE LIGHT BULBS IN THE SOCKET LAST YEAR ALL BUT THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL WORKS. THEY TELL ME IT POSSIBLY COULD BE THE MODULE. AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO EXTREME CAR REPAIRS. OR REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COSTS WHICH IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. *TR
