Ignition will not always turn out of lock posistion. You have to fight with it to get it to turn.
Ignition locks without warning.
Ignition first started releasing the keys with out the car being turned off. Then the ignition ceased up and would not allow the key to enter more than half way. The lock up was due in part of the buzzer switch.
Check engine light appeared on the dashboard and suddenly shut down. All the electrical light components were off.
While driving the headlights began to flicker then suddenly went dim. The vehicle has been to a technician 13 times for the light sensor brain control switch.
The vehicle powered down from 70 MPH to 5, the dealer repaired/replaced numerous parts on the vehicle, however the problem continued.
