Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2013, BUT IT IS HAPPENING DAILY NOW. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT WILL NOT TURN AT ALL. IT IS STUCK. I TAKE THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN AND TRY TO TURN WITH NO LUCK. TODAY IT TOOK 15 TIMES OF TRYING TO TURN THE KEY AND TAKING IT OUT AND PUTTING IT BACK IN BEFORE IT WOULD START. I HAVE EVEN VIDEOED MYSELF TRYING TO START MY CAR SO I CAN SHOW THE DEALERSHIP. I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT IN TOMORROW. *TR
