2006 Saturn ION Logo
Nancy Martinez Posted on Oct 24, 2011

I can not get my key out of my ignition. I got home last night and tried to turn my car off and my key would not turn it was stuck forward. I looked in my manual and it said there is a plunger to push and i could not push anything. I then had to pull the fuse to get my car to turn off and disconnect the battery so it would not die on me.

The ignition went bad in my 2006 Saturn Ion a couple of years ago. Luckily I have the manual transmission so I choked the engine to stop it. I called my local Saturn dealership and was advised the the ignitions are going bad on them, but not enough have been reported for them to actually recall the part. I ended up having to have the entire ignition replaced and rekeyed to match my original key. I do suggest taking it to a GM dealership to do it, the mechanic I took mine to spent 3 days alone trying to program the new ignition into the car, and killed my battery numerous times in the process. Hope this helps. :)

Key stuck in ignition

Lubrication of the ignition key lock would be useful. CRC or WD 40 could help. Use the key to get the lubrication into the tumblers inside the lock. If the key is left in the ignition the auxilliary circuit was still active and drained the battery. In cold weather the condensation of water in the air on metal parts causes all kinds of problems. Lubricate for protection!

Stuck eldorado key in DTS ignition now car won't start

Make sure your steering wheel isn't locked. Sometimes a key won't turn until you jiggle the wheel while trying to turn the key.

My 2005 won't turn off and has even started on it's own with no key in ignition...just statred happening last night. Had t disconnect battery to stop car. Seems like car doesn't realize the key is out!

We have had several issues with the ignition, had to have the locksmith save us at the gas pump with a stuck key and had problems starting many times. This is different but try WD40 sprayed directly into the key hole and work the key. With the cost of fuel it might be worth trying.

The key won't come out of the ignition.

this may sound strange but will most likely work:

You will need another person to assist you. This usually happens when parked on a hill or grade.

While trying to remove the key, have the second person push the car forward and back as if the car were stuck.

This will revolve the gears in the transmission a little and most likely will release the key.

If not, call your dealer.
