    I am in need of some help all of a sudden my keys wont come out of ignition, Although my mothers car which is a 2002 Grand Prix SE I have the same exact car also has had the same issue for a long time now so she just carries a nail around with her in the car to stick in the whole under the steering wheel/ignition/key area. I have been doing it this way for the time being but Im praying someone has had this problem before or knows what I can do to fix it so I dont have to take my keys out with a dang nail ughhh irritating....:(

    quick fix: take off the steering wheel covers, ziptie the plunger down on the solenoid [the one you've been pressing with the nail to get the keys out]. or you could find something cylindrical to leave in the access hole.

    If you are still experiencing this problem I developed a simple repair that won't leave a zip tie inside your steering column.
