Ignition wont lock up
Monday, September 23, 2013 2:53 PM
Hey guys. So last night I was trying to start my car and it turned over just fine. However, the gears locked up and wouldn't allow me to put it into reverse or drive. I just turned the car off and turned it back on. That problem was cured. But then the key was stuck in the ignition so I had to leave my keys in my car all night long. I was able to wiggle it out of the ignition this morning. Now the problem is that the ignition cylinder or lock does not seem to lock up in place when the car is turned over. It starts just fine but then wont stay on. If my accidentally hit my keys with my knee or hit a good bump the actual ignition will turn back into the off position. Is it not synced? What would have caused this all of a sudden? Thanks

sounds like a bad ignition lock cylinder and/or ignition switch

I had the same issue with a worny. I had 3 copies of my key so I used a new one and did not have an issue since.




On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.
