Answer
Donna,
There might be a slight adjustment that will need to be done on the gear shift linkage to allow the key to turn all the way to the off position so that the key can be removed. See the linkage needs to be in the park position before the key can be removed. There is a cable that runs from the linkage to the ignition lock.
