Key stuck in ignition- shifter failure.
Key is stuck in ignition which is unsafe to leave vehicle unattended at any time, my dealer has advised me that the problem is the gear shifter and since the vehicle is easily shifted into gear without a key it could have rolled away if placed in the neutral or drive gear.
Key stuck in the ignition and unable to remove. Had to remove gear shift console and push in a metal piece so that car computer would register that the car was in park.
When I parked my 2006 Jeep Liberty and attempted to turn the key and pull it out of the ignition, the key would not come out. It would go no further than the lock position. It appears that the shifting cable that reads when the car is in park and enables one to remove the key had failed and was not reading that my car was actually in park. I had to press the cable down in order to remove my key. I did a google search for the problem and it appears to be a common problem for the 2004-2006 Jeep Liberty. Now my shifter does not stop between gears, it simply slides through them without having to press the button that would normally lock them in place. I can shift from reverse to park without pressing the break and without pushing the button. In order to pull my key out I have to take the cover off and press down on the cable. Now that I noticed it is a common problem with other Jeep Liberty's, I think a recall is in order.
