Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE CAR, IT WILL NOT ENGAGE. HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING THE KEY IN HARDER AND HARDER TO GET THE KEY TO START. TAKES 20-30 TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO START. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN IGNITION PROBLEM. HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. STEERING WHEEL TURNS AND ONCE CAR DOES START IT'S FINE.
