When car is parked gear shift is in "park" the ignition key will turn off engine but cannot remove the key. Must restart engine, put into gear and back into "park" and turn the steering wheel for a second try to remove the key. Sometimes it takes 4 attempts to get the key to come out! Has been on-going for several weeks. *tr

So we took the car in and had 2 more tires put on. That did not stop the…

Key sticks in ignition when entered into park, and will not come out most of the time. The only way to release the key is to stick finger into a hole in the steering column and slide the manual release switch within the steering wheel column. There are no obstructions which prevent the gear shift lever from entering the full park position. *tr
