My key locks up and I cannot turn it all the way back to release the key. Therefore my key remains in the ignition. I am able to start the car but unable to remove the key.

Ignition switch binds up intermittently also shifter and steering wheel do not lock up and can move shifter from park without pushing brake. Adjusted shift cable but did not solve problem. Found that shifter and cable assembly were worn. Removed and replaced shift interlock cable and gear shift assembly. Test operation ok.

While driving my 2006 Jeep Liberty on the interstate. The power steering failed as I was exiting the expressway. The tow truck driver informed told me that he knew about the "Jeep Liberty" problem. That he is currently picking up at least 1 Jeep Liberty per day due to failed power steering. He mentioned that he thought that the current design causes the belt to just slip off. He then raised the hood and showed me that the belt was intact but just off and was lying on another part of the engine. He mentioned that the dealer should see and repair the problem; however it may come off again. He told me that this was that same problem that he was seeing with the other Jeep that he is towing, the belt just slips off. I do not make many road trips, just back and forth to work and my daughter's volleyball practice. We were returning from volleyball at the time of the incident. He suggested that I inform the dealer of our conversation, and also suggested that I request an inquiry. Being Sunday evening the dealer was closed. I plan to be at the dealer tomorrow morning.
