Experienced the ignition key hard to remove. Two situations on 2 different days......total of 4.
Already had the ignition recall performed but I believe a secondary alert with a life time fix was issued toward the last part of last year. Something about the Park and transmission mode interfering with key removal. Need to search my files, but it will take a little effort, the office is a mess because of some remodeling.

I just had to drill a hole for mounting and spliced the wires, didn't even cut the wires to the old actuators, and connected the rod to the lock rod.
I think I paid a total of $18 in parts & shipping and about 3 hours work. The Mazda part is the entire latch mechanism and runs in the $200 each range.

Congrats on the mileage milestone Oldblue, and thanks for the chuckle with the Funeral Home sign.
Today I dropped Paddy off at my friendly dealership(Ben Mynatt Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC), to have the power steering motor replaced and the infamous ignition recall done at last.
They sent me on my way to work in a crisp new Caddy ATS 2.0, which I could really get used to driving.
Picked up the Paddy-Wagon at 5pm, repairs completed perfectly as is the usual with Mynatt's, the new ignition feels notchy compared to the 83,000 mile original...but that's no big deal.
Tomorrow(well today since it's 3am), the '06 will be at Mynatt's for the same repairs, wonder if they'll let me have that ATS again?

Just curious. Since you have a KPH speedo, why is the small yellow light lit up that shows "MPH".
Now be nice to me. Remember that I'm just a southern country boy that "don't know much 'bout them there metric thingy's."

Them "Metric thingy's" are part of a large international conspiracy between tool makers and fastener manufacturers to guarantee that you will find out that you don't have the right wrench to remove the "Left hand threaded, 11.5 mm Muffler Bearing Bracket, Assembly, 2 Req'd" exactly five minutes after the Sears store closes on a Sunday afternoon.
I'm surprised you didn't know that George.
Yesterday was "Wednesday Part Deux", just substitute the '06 Daily Driver HHR for Paddy.
EPS motor replacement and ignition recall performed flawlessly by my dealer, and the same Cadillac ATS 2.0 courtesy car.
