The car will not start, key is locked in ignition and will not turn

dealer--authorized locksmith have key[s] cut using vin

This could be an ignition key placement problem! Most cars get worn out with the key start. I have replaced the "switch" with the keys on numerous cars. They have tumblers like all locks, when these become worn or loose their place, they will not allow the function to work properly. It is not in the correct place to allow the key to come out. Some try to keep the car in the starting position etc. Other's will not turn the car completely off, and you will draw down the battery. Check this out with either a dealer or take it to Auto-zone/Napa etc. They sell this replacement key switch.

Bad ignition module

Put one hand on the steering wheel and rotate slightly left and right alternatively whilst turning the ignition key at the same time with the other hand. This might release the steering wheel and start ignition.

Hope this helps.

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT RELEASE

It can be faulty ignition lock cylinder. I suggest to wiggle the steering wheel a bit and see if the key gets released out. If that is not helping then first turn steering wheel to right and try removing the key, or next turn steering wheel to left and see if you can remove the key.

----------

Spray wd-40 in the ignition key hole and let it remain there for few minutes, after that once again try to remove the key and see if that helps.

---------

But if that is not helping then ignition lock cylinder has to be removed out and key has to be manually removed.

Thanks.

The tumblers in the ignition lock may be seized, try cleaning it out first with a small spray of WD40 and try the spare ignition keys. The keys it self may be too worn down for the tumblers in the lock and if you have lots of other keys on your key chains, this will promote the lock to wear out quicker. Good luck and hope this helps and try turning the steering where back and forth as you try to turn the ignition key.

groan.....gunna need a bit more info. but i'll try. What portion of the ignition was ripped out? The tumbler + switch? If so, you might need to get the car's system resent to recognize that it has a new ignition put in. Sime vehicles have a theft prevention system in place to prevent the vehicle from running if its been hot wired. Your best bet would be to replace the damaged ignition components (You did not mention if you did or not). If it still doesn't work after you have replced all of the ignition components. You can try to reset the vehicle (doesn't work on all) disconnect negative battery terminal and go back into vehicle and press down the brake pedal for about 30 seconds then reconnect battery and try it....good luck, hope this helps

It sounds like your ignition lock cylinder has a problem. These can be replaced and keyed to match you present key by a locksmith. Call a locksmith for a estimate.

ok get in the car, close the door, make sure all doors are closed.... put the key in the ignition, turn the key to on but without starting the car (lights on dash light up only) press and release the key lock button, turn key to off, without removeing the key.. turn to on without starting the car (dash lights up only) press and release the key lock button again, turn the ignition off, without removeing the key then turn back on (lights on dash on only without starting the car, press and release the key lock button , turn off the ignition without removeing the key, ..turn on the ignition once more without starting the car , press and release the key lock button and u should hear the door lock cycle ....leave the key in the ignition ... now press the lock button or unlock button on the other remotes one at a time if u have them.....u should hear the lock cycle indicateing all remotes are programmed.... kind of tricky to explain but you will get it, the sequence of turnin the key in the ignition on and off is only done with that one first key,,, remember after the door lock cyles press the lock or unlock button on the other remote fobs if if any...and ur done..may take u a few trys.. let me know how it worked out.

the lock cylinder may have to be replaced, have you tried moving the steering from side to side while trying to turn the key, if you do need to get a new ignition lock cylinder have a lock smith key it to fit your old keys
