My ignition has been acting up. When shutting of car it doesnt release key (eventually does). Anyone else had this?

Does it not turn all the way to LOCK?

If it does turn all the way to lock, does it not release the key?

Which?



Got a less worn out key to try? Try a new key that wasn't duped, have it cut by the key code. Might just be a worn out key.

Yup. Happens when key turned to lock. Do keys really go bad?

Does that mean you can or can't turn the cylinder to LOCK? Your answer wasn't clear to me.



And yes, keys wear out. Just grind all the teeth flat on one and try your locks.
