Just like the 2008 model, when you put the car in park and try to turn the key off the will not turn off all the way. I have to turn the key from the auxiliary position to the on position for several minutes until the key finally goes into the off position. Only then will it release the key. When I look my car to the dealership, they replaced the ignition switch 2 different times. I later found out that there was a recall on the 2008 model for the same issue. I am still dealing with this problem today.
