Sometimes the key will not turn or it seems as if the car is locked. The key will get stuck in the ignition and will not turn. Sometimes the key will turn but will not allow me to take it out very easily. Lastly the key sometimes will not enter the hole. Tried switching the sides over and sometimes it works after 2 or 3 tries.
