Consumer Description

I JUST HAD MY RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH CHANGED WITH THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH. HOWEVER, IT IS CAUSING NEW PROBLEMS. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS SHUTTING OFF MY CAR. SOMETIMES THE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK AND I CAN NOT MOVE MY KEY TO TURN OFF THE CAR. IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU CAN NOT MOVE YOUR KEY AND TURN OFF YOUR CAR. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE KEYS AND ADJUSTED THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT IT IS STILL CAUSING PROBLEMS. WHEN IT GETS STUCK I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY JIGGLE THE KEY AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES OVER 20 MINUTES TO GET IT UNSTUCK AND TO TURN OFF MY CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR
