I took my car into the dealer for a full detail on monday. They call me on tuesday and tell me the key is stuck in the ignition and will not come out. They say i may need a new ignition/key. I never had any problems with it before... has anyone ever had this issue... any suggestions or comments?
I have like 69k on my car... they told me i need a new ignition. They told me 4-5hrs labor but they said they were going to give me a break.... it ended up being like $625 - $875 including the detail.
I honestly didnt have any problems with it before this so... who knows. I just wanted to get it taken care of quickly and since it was already at the dealer I figured they could just do it.
If you have an auto-tranny the brake pedal MUST NOT be pressed when turning and pulling the key out. At least, that's what my manual says.
When this issue occurs, i usually just turn the ignition on and off with my foot off the brake, and the key comes out.
