I just picked up a 2000 S70 GLT. Car has high miles but it runs like a gem aside from a few quirks. One of them is that the key won't release from the ignition every once in a while. Picture coming to a stop, shutting the engine/ignition off and the key won't give. Sometimes, it takes a few seconds, sometimes it won't come out for much longer. So, I use the spare and leave the key in the ignition. Not the wisest move, but I have no other choice. Anyone run into a similar problem? Solution?

 

Hi, did you read the Important Info - DIY thread? The 2nd link there leads you to the 850 DIY thread, which has info in it about the stuck key situation with these cars.
