Doesn't engage in Park, means my key wont come out?

Post by 2kWoo »

I have a 2000 Daewoo Nubira SE, and every single day, after a few drives, my key will not come out. It stays in the ACC. on Position. Does this happen to any1 else? I have to drive the car for a short trip, wait til I hear a click from the tranny, and then my key comes out. Any help in this matter would be great. I was wondering if I needed a new ignition or not. The car only has 28,600 miles.

Wiggle it out of the on position? Looks as If the key would break. It is as if trying to take the key out when the car is running.

Similar thing used to happen to my 97 leganza, but i figured out that if i push the key in slightly at the same time as twisting it comes out fine, and now i don't even notice it.

you have to puush the key in to turn it to lock, and from lock to acc. From acc to if you push it in (in my case atleast) it wont let you move it.
recap-->acc to lock, push-acc to on/start, no push. Its like that to stop the keys falling out of the ignition when you open the door.

There's a switch that is probably going bad. I can't recall the exact name of it but it's something like the Park Lock switch or something or other...
