    Anyone else had this

    Gday All

    Drove today in 44 degrees for most of the day and the car went faultless until we stopped to camp the night, pulled up and let the car wind down and when I turned it off I couldn't get the key out of the ignition. Turned the car on and back off and still the same result. Started the car moved forward say 2 feet and turned it off and presto key came out first try.

    Is it something I did or has anyone had this happen to them.

    Thanks and Cheers Ean

    I find the same happens to me if I quickly turn off the car and haven't put the shifter into park completely, I just push the shifter up a bit more and bobs your uncle the key comes out.

    Cheers

    Ean - I sometimes get this issue with my RRS - is in park, sometimes I have to put my foot on the brake - is always fixed by putting the key to accessories and then off and the key comes out.

    Other that it being a bit annoying sometimes I have not really gicen it much thought until you mentioned it.

    Has happened to me a couple of times in my RRS, just thought I was being a bit quick for it, a quick on & off and all was good. BTW, used to own a merc, don't ever try to remove the key with your foot on the brake in one of those!
