Suspect a bad ignition switch. You would need a voltmeter to check it.

i would try resetting or reprogramming the remote, or you could try this...without starting the car turn the ignition key to the on position, then off position, do this three times then start the car and turn it off. This should reset your vehicle computer system. See if that works for ya.

car will only start in park or neutral. key will not come out unless in park. perhaps the car isnt fully in park

This just happened to my 02 eclipse gt automatic on Thanksgiving 2012 . Its ur torque converter , the torque converter engages forward and reverse drive... Sorry to say but u need a transmission rebuild.... I just swapped mine to a 5 speed for around $2000

Yes, the car has an immobilizer, that only allows the car to start when the proper key (with the proper chip) is inserted into the ignition. Your new column prolbably has a different ignition cylinder (and thus the incorrect key) or is not capable of sending the signal to the ECU

Turn the key to on and move the shifter out of park,and back into park a couple times till you feel/hear the key click. With age the mechanism can be sloppy. Sometimes you can turn the key from the accessory position and back to off a couple of times till you hear /feel the click, to get the key to release. Check the side of the console my 94 colt had an oval cover, the size of a silver dollar, you could pop off and manually release the cable hold on the ignition. If you still can not get the key out unbolt the console and unhook the cable manually and you will never have the trouble again.

you might need to replace ignition key cylinder assy and replace current key, now, sometimes if this is a automatic transmission it might have problem with shifter interlock cable try moving shifter from park to first and back to park and try removing key again, but if key gets stuck and car won't start, does the key turns? does the engine cranks? are you using the correct key?

There is a cable that goes from the gear shifter to the ignition switch that keeps the key in place until it is placed in park. The cable needs to be lubracated and has to much friction to operate correctly. The consoled has to be removed to correct this problem. Locate the small cable and lubricate it.

your tumbler prob can apart, do you have the kitchin sink on your keychain ? easy soloution is keep it in and use your spair key for the doors, You do have a spair right? you you'll have to replace the tumbler assy. @ 217.00
