Every time I put the car in park the key gets stuck in the ignition

Hi,

I would suggest checking your gear shift button to see if it is getting stuck when you shift to park. If this button does not release when you shift to park then the BCM does not allow the key to release because it doesn't know that you are locked in park. If that button is pressed then you can shift out of park inadvertently.

Here are a couple home made videos of people who have discovered this:

The actual repair would be to replace this shifter assembly because they don't have many parts that would repair this issue.

Let me know if you have questions.

The button on the shifter does get stuck. I looked up a video for my exact vehicle and found a way to pop open the gear shift to expose the button in question. I pop it out and then I can get the key in the ignition to get it out.

Okay. Great. At least we know what it is. One of the video I attached earlier showed someone trimming the plastic around the button as it appears it is getting hung up on it.

If yours doesn't do it all the time then you may want to just pop the button out whenever it does it. If it starts doing it more then you may want to take action.

Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks

I will. Thanks for your help.
