Hi,

Just bought the car listed above EXL.

1) After parking - most of the times, keys is stuck and wont come out. the shifter also gets locked. I can turn on the vehicle though and after manually unlocking the shifter and starting the car. all those things not happen.. But after some times issues again come back. Checked the fuses 5, 10 and 17..seems fine. Parking light comes on no issues.. Cruise control works but switch which engages cruise control does not hold ON.

2) AC generally works well in cool weather. but in hot weather it really does not cool up to the same extent. Checked the refrigerant..was kind of in the middle levels (green zone).

Hello,

Please one problem at a time per thread, you will need to make a new question for the AC issue. 9 times out of 10 when the key will not come out its because the shifter cable needs to be replaced/adjusted. here are directions and diagrams below to how to how to fix the problem. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
