Went back to the dealer today and they were basically useless. According to the SA, in 1 out of 100 cases the new interlock switch may bring out problems with old, worn tumblers in the vehicle's existing ignition. If the old tumblers are worn out as he says, wouldn't this problem have manifested itself before anyway? I've NEVER had an issue taking the key out before. He said I should try putting graphite powder on the keys to lubricate the internals of the key slot or try using my 2nd, less-used key. I tried both to no avail. He said if these don't work, the only solution is paying $500 for a new ignition. I'm pretty upset right now needless to say :mad:.
I did some of my own troubleshooting today and noticed that most of the time the key gets stuck, I am still able to press the shift knob and move the shifter out of park without my foot being on the brake pedal. I think due to the shifter still being movable, the car thinks it is fully not in park yet and keeps me from pulling the key out. I still think there is something wrong with the new part they put in and will demand they re-check their work/put in a new part tomorrow.
