  • Has this happened to anyone else!!!

    Today as I was getting out of my car, the damn key would not come out! I really never start the car from the inside and today was no different, but when I went to take the key from the ignition it wouldn't. I had to literally pry the ignition back to get the key out. When I put it back in again, the same thing happened, what could cause this???? Anyone had this happen before? I thought at first the car was not in gear (P) all the way, but that was not the case. how expensive and difficult is that part to fix/replace?
    Thanks guys

    It has to do with the car not thinking you are in park. I saw an article somewhere that you have to adjust something under the shifter plate. They said that this happens to a lot of A4's.

        Same thing happened in my 1989 Olds with an automatic, so we've had this problem for quite some time. In the two years I had that car, it only happened twice. Just try it again and make sure your shift is solid I guess. No big deal.
