“Vehicle key ignition problem. Reason to my concern is that I'm be able to take the key out while it in drive or any other positions. To my concern that said key can potentially fall out during motion of vehicle from ignitions and can pose serious accidents if said vehicle was to turn off while in drive. Please consider evaluating this ordeal and come to a conclusion! For the sake of the citizens. God american!”
