Consumer Description

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, MY KEY GETS STUCK AND DOES NOT TURN ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT TO THE "OFF" POSITION. IT GETS STUCK MIDWAY, SO I HAVE TO TURN IT TO THE RIGHT TO RESTART THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. I HAVE TO DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE KEY SLIDES ALL THE WAY LEFT INTO THE OFF POSITION.
