Hi,in the past to remove the inside of the barral I used to use a slide-hammer,I dont know if you have ever used one before but you just screw it into the ignition and slide the hammer and the ignition will come out,then you can undo ignition and replace.
or get a locksmith out.
wich ever way you go I wish you all the best.

make sure to check your fuses and ground wires first. when you are set on which part is bad do a quick check of everything else before you jump into it.

Put some pressure on the steering wheel in one direction or the other this may take the pressure off the cylinder itself and allow you to do what is needed...hope this works.

My Saturn vue won't start and locked my key in ignition

Force your stearing wheel slightly clockwise and try to turn or try to remove key at the same time. If that doesn't work then try to move the shifter to any position then if you can shift it back quickly to park and then you should be able to move your key ??

My 2009 saturn vue won't start and key is stuck in ignition. I tried moving the steering wheel and checked the shifter but nothing.

Jump the battery. If it gets to low, the solenoid for the key won't work and release the key. Just a note. If it is that low replace the battery. Have it checked first, but most likely dead.

FOB not working on my saturn vue and can't get key in ignition or turn ignition.

That will usually happen when your gear shift is not fully in park. Start by checking that to make sure.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The key to my 2008 Saturn Vue is stuck in the ignition. It's stuck at ACC. There's no power to the car at all. What do I do?

I have a 2008 Saturn VUE. I had the problem where my key would not turn to off and I wouldn't be able to take it out of the ignition it was also on ACC. So even though I had power in my car it might be the same problem you have. I just kind of hit the shift up when it was in park. This should unlock the key. You should hear a click and after that you should be able to turn it all the way off and take the key out.

I have a 2003 saturn vue and my key always gets stuck in the ignition. Now I can't even turn the key at all, I really don't know if I have to change the whole ignition or just the part where the key goes...

It needs a new lock assembly. Or you can do as all the car thieves do and buy a slide hammer and pull your lock out and start it with a screwdriver

Saturn vue ignition key won't turn

It was very likely that the problem turning the key was due to the steering column lock mechanism. Sometimes when you lock the steering wheel, if you the mechanism will bind up, making it difficult to unlock the ignition with the key. Often when this happens, you will be parked on a hill with your wheels agains a curb or some such item. Once you turn the wheel hard to the right (or left), the pressure is released on the locking mechanism, and the key will turn easily. This is a similar situation to what can happen in an automatic if you park on a hill without the parking brake.
try doing this:
pop the off the circle piece around the ignition and the holster cover under the steering wheel.
that ought to work.
