Consumer Description
IGNITION KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER STARTING CAR. HAVE TO JIGGLE AND TAP ON KEY TO EVENTUALLY GET KEY TO TURN TO THE OFF POSITION. ONCE OUT OF TEN TIMES THE KEY MAY TURN OFF NORMALLY. I HAVE TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE TURNING KEY OFF. I'VE ALSO TRIED MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER TO SEE IF THE LOCK IS PREVENTING THE KEY FROM TURNING. NOTHING REALLY SEEMS TO WORK. THEN FOR NO REASON AT ALL I YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. SEEMS LIKE THE TUMBLERS GET OUT OF LINE OR SOMETHING. CAR IS PARKED ON FLAT LEVEL DRIVEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
