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

THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE TIMES THE CAR PARKS. I NORMALLY HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT 1 MINUTE FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. SOMETIMES, IT WILL STILL NOT RELEASE AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GO A COUPLE FEET, THEN DRIVE FORWARD A COUPLE FEET, PUT IT IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. I MAY HAVE TO DO THIS 3-4 TIMES BEFORE, THE KEY WILL FINALLY RELEASE. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PARK THE KEYS WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO KEEP STARTING THE VEHICLE, TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH, OR SLAMMING THE SHIFTER INTO PARK IT HAPPENS ABOUT 12 TIMES PER WEEK! ALSO THE TRAC CONTROL LIGHT WILL POP ON AND THEN HEAL ON ITS OWN, STAY OFF AS LONG AS A 16 MONTHS THEN GO BACK ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN BACK OFF! WEIRD. *TR
