Key wont come out of car

[ThomasG 5,000+ posts]

Ok this only happens in the winter/when its cold.

When I turn my key off it is a ***** to get the key out. I **** with my key 5 minutes after I turn my car off to get it out when ever i go somewhere. So i have to leave 5 minutes to everything earlier than i usually do and its a pain in the ***

I changed the entire key slot which costed over one hundred dollars and it still does it. Any ideas?

can you turn the ignition completely off or is it stuck in the on position?

if you cant get it to the off position AND you have console shift automatic ***** i can almost guarantee the button you have to press to shift gears is sticking therefore not letting you turn the ignition off. happened on my car

there's a little lever underneath the steering wheel that you can flip and remove the key from the ignition

Wrong key. The key is too thick. Get another one cut. Go to a dealership. I broke one inside the ignition of my Mazda, and thats exactly why. The key was a hair too thick, and it was getting stuck, and the key broke.

bring the key you have to the dealer and have it soften up or have them redo a pair of keys for you. sometimes your ****** and put into Park all the way if can cause the key to lock up.
