VerifiedHi and welcome to just answer.
My name is ***** ***** I will be happy to assist you today. Sorry to hear you are having problems today. I will do my best to help resolve them. The Web Site will prompt a phone call. Ignore the popups for this. I'll let you know if it's needed.
Do you mean that the key actually falls out of the ignition cylinder when the key is in on or run position? Do you have a spare and does it do the same thing?
