Can A Locksmith Fix My Ignition?

ASK YOUR DEALER You can bring your car registration (remember your ID) to the nearest dealership and ask them to make a mechanical key.  A mechanical key is a regular key without. the transponder chip. It's possible that the key you are using isn't operating properly because it is worn out and you may discover that the problem isn't with your ignition, but with the key.  When you get the new key, try turning your ignition.  If it's still stuck, try jiggling the key to jostle to tumbler within to move.

If the ignition still won't turn simply by jiggling the new mechanical key then you can try bumping the ignition lock cylinder. In order to bump the ignition lock you will need to spray Tri-Flow inside the ignition lock cylinder then insert the mechanical key part way into the ignition lock cylinder and, with care "bump" the rest of the key into the ignition lock cylinder using the handle of a heavy screwdriver, preferably one with a rubber handle to avoid unnecessary damage. We see in most cases, that a jammed ignition lock cylinder is the result of one or two misaligned wafers that are stuck inside the cylinder and prevent the lock from turning. Bumping the lock cylinder a few times can help to release the jammed wafers, and allow the ignition to turn again. 

Once you've successfully been able to turn your key in the ignition and the car is started, do not turn it back off as it can easily "slip" back into the stuck position. If the ignition lock is turned to the 'on' position, it is much easier to remove the auto ignition lock cylinders and replace them if that's needed.
