JayCo59 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Has anyone experienced any issues with the key getting stuck in the ignition?I've had this happen twice in the 10 day's I've owned this car...I shut the car off after the drive home from work (about 12 miles) and I put the car in park and turn the key to the off position and it won't make it to '0' position to remove the key! I move it around and cycle the ignition a few times and rock the steering wheel and still nothing. Eventually it just turns to the '0' position and out pops the key!I made an appointment with the dealer to check it out next week. I tried the second key and it didn't have an issue but the key I mainly use doesn't always have the problem either.I'd appreciate any feedback.Thx,Jay Edited November 1, 2012 by JayCo59 rfruth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfruth Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 My guess is the neutral safety switch thing needs adjusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtorres Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) After over four weeks of ownership I haven't had any problems as described with the key. Edited November 2, 2012 by dtorres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCo59 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Appreciate the feedback. I dropped it off at the dealer this afternon. I'll find out tomorrow if they find anything.They did look at it while I was waiting for a ride and they did say it didn't seem to be the tumblers, more likely the transmission park switch.I'll let you know what they say...Thx again all.Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCo59 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Suprise Suprise, they could duplicate the problem! They claimed they took the entire ignition switch apart and looked around and checked it out but found nothing wrong.They also contacted Ford to see if this has been reported by anyone else and it had not been. Apparently I'm dreaming this all up or don't know how to turn the key!Hopefull it never happens again and I'm off and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCo59 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well it happen again! This time I was able to get the key out after pushing up (higher into Park) on the shifter.I'm gong to call the dealer and let them know that it happened again and what I had to do to get the key out.
