MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GOING TO THE MOVIES. ONCE WE ARRIVED, MY HUSBAND TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. HE KEPT WORKING ON THE KEY AND THE KEY CAME OUT BUT THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. WE DROVE BACK HOME WITH OUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO SEE IF MY KEY WOULD SHUT IF OFF. IT DIDN'T SO WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE TO BE WORKED ON MONDAY. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT IT WILL BE UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY THE 400.00 DOLLARS.
