My key sometime will not turn when I put it in the ignition. It's like it's locked or something. I really have to force it sometimes to get it moved. No recalls, but throughout the internet it seems like this is a recurring problem.

Ignition keys will not turn in ignition, car will start remotely but key will still not let you drive the car. Steering wheel is not locked into position, will turn. No problems until this. Anybody have any ideas?

Thankfully... this only broke on me 2 days after buying the car. I guess that should have been a sign there that the car was going to be a POS. It broke on me while at the dealership having it detailed since it was purchased on a weekend when none of the detailers were working. Another GREAT Pontiac dealership trait. Don't have your detailers work on the weekends.... yea since that's the biggest sell time is weekends. Dumb A**es. Anyways I got in my car to start it so I could park it for the people and my key wouldn't turn. I made sure it was in park and everything. Then when I tried to exit the car lock it and start over thinking it was a security problem the key wouldn't even come out. The dealership THANKFULLY had a 30 day warranty on it and replaced the entire ignition switch and everything. I got a new set of keys and all. I haven't had a problem with it (yet). I however wish I had seen this as a sign and requested a new car. But I was dumb and didn't. I have since dropped more in the car than I put on the down payment. How sad is that???? I haven't even owned it a year and have had over $2,000 bucks in work done on it. So freaking ridiculous. I swear that GM will NEVER get mine or my husbands business AGAIN!!! Nor any family members if I have a say in it.
