MY CAR HAS BEEN STICKING IN THE START POSITION FOR MONTHS NOW. IF I DON'T WIGGLE THE KEY A BIT TO THE LEFT IT WOULD STAY IN THE START POSITION. LAST MONDAY MY KEY HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHILE I TRY TO POSITION IT IN PARK. IM FORCED TO KEEP STARTING THE CAR AND MOVING IT TO TRY TO SUCCESSFULLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES A DAY AND IM VERY CONCERNED. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT IS UNSURE WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. HE SAID MAYBE A FEW WEEKS, BUT COULD MAKE NO PROMISES. I TOLD HIM OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE KEY STICKING IN THE IGNITION AND HE HAD NO ANSWER FOR ME. IM AFRAID ILL BURN OUT THE STARTER WHILE I WAIT FOR PARTS. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO ME AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD OFFER ME A RENTAL UNTIL THE CAR IS SAFELY FIXED.
