the shift rod maybe bent. it is located next to the trans, right below your shifter. try straightening it out and see if that helps. Also if you cant find it have some apply the brakes and move the shifter back and fourth to see the shift rod. good luck
i once had this problem and my car wasnt completely in park...yea felt pretty stupid.
If the car is not in park, it wont release the key. If it is in park, there is a little switch underneath the prndl indicator that is bad, causing the car to not release your key.
When any car idles, it lowers the ignition energy (but not completely) to keep the car running. When it is cold outside, your Subaru's ignition energy is lost through heat because electricity also is measured through heat. When there is less ignition energy when it is already running on a lower ignition level, the car (your Subaru) is not likely to idle.
I don't know I think its the ignition or some part there of
Do you have it in park? I think it wont let you take out the key if it isn't in park. Hope this is of help.
There are several safety mechanisms for the Chevy Corsica. if you accidently left the car out of park when you turned of the car, in some models if your lights are left on it wont let you take out the key.
car thinks it's not in park
Take the keys out of the ignition.
It may not be connected right.
make sure that the car is in park. if the car is on anything other than park the key will not come out of the ignition. took me over an hour to figure it out when it happened to me. hope this helps!
Either your ignition is broken, or (& this may sound really stupid) except for I've done it before. Make sure your car is completely in park. If not that, jiggle the steering wheel a little.
check the ignition module
