Purchased a new Suzuki Esteem in 2001. About 30000 miles the key beagn to stick in the ignition and you could not take it out. Once you turned the car on, you could not move into park. Have had it "fixed" 3 times now. There is a little white button on the inside of steering wheel that once pushed will release the key from the locked position but in order to get to it you must take off the cover.
