Subaru key stuck fix, 2016 legacy explained
I explain and show the mechanism that is the culprit of not releasing the key. When you put the car in park it engages the micro switch. The problem with this is after time it doesn’t engage the switch fully. I did find on my car that if I take the shift rod that is plastic down to 6.35” on the top side and chamfer it this will release the key. I don’t show filing it down but I recommend if you do this use some calibers and take a little off at a time and keep trying it until you get your desired result. Now this will not work on the metal rod style you’ll have to figure that out yourself as I don’t have that type.
