When putting the key in the ignition, the key is getting stuck and will not turn to start the car. I have to wiggle the key multiple times until finally it makes an audible click and I am able to start the car. This does not happen every time I attempt to start the car but three quarters of the time I deal with this problem. Some times it only takes a few turns, other times I repeatedly remove the key and place it back in the ignition until it is able to rotate and start the car.

Purchased new 05/29/07. In shop numerous times for faulty ignition switch that kept sticking. Wouldn't replace but kept 'greasing.' Finally after in shop three times previously they replaced ignition. Starting to stick again less than a year later. Soon after, during a stop at light, or stop sign, engine would turn off completely and restart itself. Dealer said the rear battery was leaking acid and everything corroded. Took them days to get replacement and didn't offer me another vehicle to use in meantime!! that was an accident waiting to happen! finally had new rear battery installed. Now I'm just waiting for another problem.
