DT:CONSUMER SAYS THAT KEY SEEMS TO STICK IN THE IGNITION . CONSUMER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO JIGGLE KEY AND GET IT TO COME LOOSE. ON JUNE 21, 2005 CONSUMER DROVE TO STORE , WHEN CONSUMER WENT TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE THE IGNITION WOULD NOT MOVE. CONSUMER DROVE HOME AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE KEY. CONSUMER DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF STORE WITH ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN CONSUMER ARRIVED HOME HE PROCEEDED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY UNTIL HE FINALLY GOT IGNITION TO SHUT OFF AND KEY TO DISLODGE. CONSUMER SPOKE TO DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENED, BUT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IT WAS NOT DEALER'S RESPONSIBILITY. D
