I'm in a '06 legacy and about a week ago, out of the blue, my key started getting "stuck." This is NOT a steering-wheel-is-locked-issue. The key slides in perfectly, but no matter how you wiggle it, or the steering wheel, it will only turn about 1 in every 6 tries. Once it turns once, it might turn perfectly 3 or 4 times before getting "stuck" again.
I've tried both keys, so it's not a key issue.
I've tried graphite - makes thing smoother but no luck.
If I leave the key IN the ignition, it continues to start perfectly.
At first it seemed to be doing if when I parked at an angle, but this morning I parked straight and still had the issue.
Is this the ignition cylinder? Worn tumblers? Or something electronic? Any help is appreciated! I'm past warranty, so I would be up to try anything before bringing it in to the dealership...
