My wife went somewhere yesterday and was turning off the car when she says the key stopped between OFF and ACC. She tried turning the engine back on but no dice, the lights lit but no crank. The key would turn forward toward START but when she turned it back towards OFF, it would not go past between ACC and OFF. She said she tried the the actual key, didn't work, she pushed the key all the way in, didn't work, pressed the brakes, didn't work. She did say that she was able to push past the mid-point between the ACC and OFF, enough to turn the car off at least, went about her business, then came back and boom, it started....
So this post is both an FYI as well as a question. The question obviously is, what gives!? The FYI part would be what worked for her but still a bit annoying.. good thing the kids weren't with her.. The car is still under warranty so I may take it down to the dealer. Perhaps she moved the steering wheel when she came back but I haven't seen anything like that being a problem on a car in recent recent memory. Perhaps the car needed 15 mins to "clear" itself after shutting off. Thankfully, it hasn't been a problem since then.
Anyway, if anyone has some insights, would be appreciated.
