When I park my 2012 Legacy in the garage, put it in park and turn the key to take it out, it won’t turn all the way. The motor turns off, but the key doesn’t turn all the way. Then it’s freezen and won’t turn at all and won’t shift out of park.
I Looked online and saw it could be a battery issue. I charged the battery with a Battery tender and the key came out! I replaced the 8 year old battery (!) and I thought the problem was solved. Then it happened again yesterday. Over the last week I could sense the key was kind of ‘sticking’ a bit before it came out and then yesterday it wouldn’t turn all the way and froze up again. I charged the new battery again and it came out.
I’m so frustrated and scared to be left somewhere. It has only happened in my garage and only after I have driven the car somewhere. I’m retired and work part time close to home so I really don’t drive much. Anyone have a clue??
