A few months ago the igniton woudn't turn all the way back so I could remove the key. It's becoming more consistent and doesn't usually happen after I've driven the car right away in the morning, but seems to occur after the car has been driven during the day and turned off and on. I have to restart the car take it out of park and put it back in park. Sometimes I have to do this as many as 5 times in order to be able to turn the ignition back to get the key out.

Hi
Most likely the Park Lock Cable needs replaced or adjusted. It take a special pliers to do the adj.
Hope this helps
Thanks for donate
