Mfr Report Date	20070321
NHTSA Campaign ID	14V567000

In the affected vehicles, the ignition key (FOBIK) may not return to the 'ON' position after being rotated to the 'START' position, instead sticking between the two positions. Potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the 'RUN' position to the 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF' ignition position, turning off the engine.
Consequence	If the ignition stays between 'START' and 'ON' positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the 'OFF' or 'ACCESSORY' position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
