Car sat for about a week. I tried to start it and very little juice. Key then stuck and would not come out of ignition. Tried to jump car with portable jumper. Charged the battery with small charger for 3 hours. Didn't hold a charge. Figured dead battery would fix all of the issues. Replaced battery and tried to start, no luck - no crank, key still stuck. Wires to floor shifter intact, not stressed or broken. Car won't crank, key stuck in ignition, no brake lights, no interior lights, no electronic doors. Chect fuses and relays in fuse box under hood. Removal of ignition switch next?

What you have is a jammed key tumbler... Its not easy and it may require a little muscle but are going to have to beat on the steering wheel column until the tumblers loosen and fall down. What I did to solve the problem with my same model was with a screwdriver and I stuck it in the pin punch hole located directly under the key ignition( looks like a screw hole) and I jutted at the cylinder and turned the key at the same3 time until it finally turned. Took about 30 mins but it worked. Hope this is helpful....
u need a new key or its the ignition its self if u go to the dealer ship u can buy a new ignition and the key comes with it or u can try a new key but if u buy a key its just as expensive as duying the whole ignition
Give the key-hole a few days to dry out. There are electronics inside the key-hole that sense the key's position and the immobilizer chip within the key. If these short out, or any other circuits with them, the car won't start/run properly.
I assume you have tried jiggling the steering wheel to free up the interlock. If all else fails you will have to remove the key cylinder and replace it.
Hello I have simular problem the ignition on is stuck in that position with the key turned off and out of the ignition switch.It feels like the key switch is spinning freely in the ignition. Do I need an ignition switch?
