(complaint #1) turning vehicle key to start position glides rather than "clicks" to each position. Ignition key feels and sounds like ignition tumblers are stripped. Delay between start and vehicle engine actually starting when key glides to start position. This delay is a sign that vehicle will not start due to faulty ignition part. Complaint #2 is being submitted as a separate complaint and wanted to include 2nd complaint with the 1st one - difficulty in inserting and removing key from ignition. Repositioning steering wheel sometimes "locks" and "unlocks" ignition keyhole allowing for key insertion and key removal.
