2006 SATURN VUE IGNITION SWITCH TURNS EXTREMELY HARD MOST OF THE RIME WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. I CAN ALSO REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE 'OFF' POSITION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REASON IT TURNS SO HARD IS BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY MECHANISM. I HAVE TO ROCK THE KEY BACK AND FORTH

IT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM PARKED ON A CITY STREET, OR ANY OTHER PLACE INCLUDING INCLINES AND DECLINES, MY DRIVEWAY, ETC.
