Consumer Description

ARRIVED AT A HOTEL FIVE HOURS AWAY FROM HOME, PARKED MY CAR AND COULD NOT GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. FORTUNATELY I HAD MY SPARE KEY WITH ME SO I WAS ABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND IT COST ABOUT $500 TO FIX. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE IGNITION LOCK SOLENOID. I READ A LOT OF SIMILAR CASES WITH THIS MODEL ONLINE AND IT IS UNFAIR THAT WE ALL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. RECALL! *TR
