Hey guys,

I've been searching and reading from this forum since the day I bought my TL and love the information and help everyone gets from here. I had a failed tranny a while ago, read that a lot of people asked for the "goodwill" warranty here, asked the dealer about it and got it, so I guess I owe the people here at least $3000.

Anyway, I've been having a weird problem recently when I turn off my engine my car keys wont come out . This used to happen like once a year and when it did, I just drove around for a minute and turned it off again to get it out. Recently, however, this happens once every 2-3 days which drives me nuts when I'm late to work.

Has anyone had this problem before? I just need new keys? If so, how much do they cost? Maybe I'm pushing the keys before I'm pulling the keys out which locks it?

Any input is appreciated - thanks a lot!

First, welcome!

Second, make sure that your key is turned fully in the off position (toward you), before you attempt to pull it out.

Hope that helps.

 

Make sure the car is in Park, if the car is not in park the key will NOT come out. As well make sure that you have turned the car off completely.

Also another thing that may be causing this is a loose fuse, check all the fuses to make sure they are firmly seated into their sockets.
