Consumer Description

I COULD NOT REMOVE MY KEY WHEN I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. TRIED ALL COMBINATIONS OF GEAR POSITIONS, ETC, NOTHING WORKED. PROBLEM IS THE NUMBER OF CARS STOLEN IN THE US WITH KEYS LEFT IN THE IGNITION. A RECALL SHOULD BE LAUNCHED TO PREVENT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THE MECHANICAL DESIGN OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE A CONTRIBUTING CAUSE TO THIS NATIONAL PROBLEM. A FAIL SAFE MECHANISM WITH OVER RIDE CAPABILITIES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN EVERY CAR DESIGN TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN! DT
