Bad ignition switch? Had this happen to my previous Verde. Its pretty easy to replace.

So the key isn't coming out? If I change the ignition I have to change the door locks also?

Happened on a verde of mine long time ago. I took the ignition switch lock of the steering wheel column, and was able to take the lock apart. A little thing (maybe the spring had broken - don't quite recall, or is that when you can't turn the key?). I simply removed whatever it was, and was able to put everything back together in working order. Though, as you can imgaine, there was some functionality that no longer worked - a minor thing, don't quite recall. Maybe the steering wheel lock functionality?

If you do replace the ignition lock with a new and don't feel like carrying multiple car keys, yes, you can switch all locks: ignition, doors, gas cap.

I had this happen on my old Milano. The key got stuck but would still start the car. But in a short time the key finally wouldn't budge. In or out of the ignition nor to turn and start the car. A locksmith was able to fix it so that it would work but warned me that getting a new ignition switch was the permanent answer.

I guess I am getting a new ignition switch. Thanks all!
