No.
Some have a problem getting out of park. The safety interlock can be stubborn. Cause is a very heavy vehicle with 6-8000 lbs on the front end.
If you have a problem shifting out of park, raise your front tires off the ground. This takes the binding pressure off the key/shifter interlock.
Some drivers may be misinterpreting this problem as a faulty ignition switch.
I've encountered this once or twice.
