SINCE HAVING THE RECALLS FOR THE IGNITION DONE - WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK I HAVE TO PULL THE SHIFTER TOWARD REVERSE TO GET THE KEY OUT. ALSO SINCE THE RECALLS WERE DONE ALL THE SUDDEN MY STEERING RACK IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE WHICH MY MECHANIC IS SAYING WILL SOON NEED REPLACED. IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE RECALLS FOR THE IGNITION AND SUCH WERE DONE ON MY CAR. LITERALLY THE DAYS AFTER IS WHEN IT STARTED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS BECAUSE MY CAR IS OLD. NOT BUYING THAT ANSWER. ALL OF THIS HAS TO BE TIED TO A RECALL, I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY CAR. I JUST HAD THE CONTROL ARMS REPLACED AS WELL AND THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WERE NEAR DISINTEGRATED!
