Problems 04 3.5rl =[
Hey all,
I just bought a used 04 3.5RL. I have had 2 problems arise: it does not shift into over-drive, and the key keeps getting stuck in the ignition after i turn off the vehicle (i'm thinking its an ignition lock cylinder problem).
Has anyone else encountered this and/or does anyone have any advice please!?
Thanks!!!
Tim

The car doesn't actually have an over drive unless I'm not understanding what your asking. And when you turn off the car push the keys forward a bit as you turn the final notch. It kind of has a lock right there and thats how you get past it.

And I do push the key forward a little bit however the only way it will come out is if I wiggle it around a little bit and turn it counterclockwise.

Yea, I think that is normal because it has only 4 gears. At 2500rpm I'm going around 60~65mph. Unless you lift your foot of the gas pedal I think it will change to different gear and RPM.

4th gear is overdrive though it's not terribly aggressive. Remember premium gas was about $1.20 when the car was designed and sold. The RL will STAY in 4th gear even on mountain passes, so it has plenty of torque on the highway.
