Things Will Get Better... Right?

 

It's official... I hate cars. I hate them!

My car has been smelling funny, and I keep putting it off from taking it in somewhere. I just kept hoping it was maybe just a little sick and that if I gave it a few days it would get better. It hasn't. It doesn't smell like the carborator. It just smells like the engine is hot, but the car isn't overheating. Geez...

So yesterday morning, the hubster is heading out to the grocery store to get breakfast. I happened to look out our bedroom window and saw him sitting in the car fighting the gear shit. I went out and he told me the car was stuck in park and not only that... his key would not come out of the ignition. Frackin frick frack! Ack!

We took the house keys off of his key chain, and the car key is still in the ignition... stuck in park. If anyone knows how to remedy this situation and would like to take the car off of our hands... feel free.

This morning I had to drop him off at the bus stop so he could catch a bus to work. Dropped in off at 6:45. He won't even get to his job until 7:45, but at least that's 15 minutes early. That would normally be about a 20-25 minute drive for him to get to work. I don't have to be at work during the week until 7:30, so here I am driving around downtown in the dark with my music cranked, drinking coffee, killing time.

At least I got to work 20 minutes early, and that never happens.

Sorry to hear about that. What kind of car is it? Googling "key stuck in ignition" brings up a ton of hits, some are specific to makes of cars though. The usual seems to be a gear shift/brake/steering/key combo - moving one or all of these at the same time might work to get the key out? Search google with your make of car and you'll probably find a forum with someone else who's had the exact same problem and found a solution.

Try pursuing the TN Breach of Implied and Expressed Warranty, or simply put, the Lemon Law. If your vehicle is still under the manufacturer's warranty, then you have to give a certified dealership a reasonable amount of attempts to fix the non-conformity of a vehicle.

If not, then may I suggest a trade-in to Carmax.
