INTERMITTENT PROBLEM REMOVING IGNITION KEY FROM IGNITION. HAS BEEN TO DEALER ONCE. THEY REPLACED THE SAFETY LOCK SWITCH FOR THE CENTER CONSOLE GEAR SELECTOR. THE LOCK SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN WILL NOT SET, RESULTING IN INABILITY TO REMOVE THE KEY. KEY REMAINS IN ACCESORY POSITION AND WILL EVENTUALLY DRAIN BATTERY>
