If the key will not come out of ignition, this may be related to problems with the shifter knob sticking and / or binding of the shifter bezel. Replace the shifter knob and / or shifter bezel as needed.

    Silver ring around shifter thumb button, will not let shifter disengage all the way. I pulled the silver ring out and it has one tab broken off. Now I just make sure the button comes out when I put it in park and I can hear the ignition unlock. Haven't gotten it fixed really just dealing with it.

    This happened to me one day without warning. i never had trouble with it untill that day. no warning! i alked to a ford mechanic and he suggested that it may just be dirty inside the housing so im going to try that first to see if that fixes the probblem.

    same thing happened. i looked it up and found a lot of other people had the same problem. its a little plastic ring around the button thats broken. pull it off and pick the broken piece out of the handle. mine worked just fine after that.

    Shifter knob button won't pop back out; this prevents the ignition key from being removed. Dealer states $450 to replace the shifter.
