	Drove the car into the parking lot, turned it off, took out the key. Went back the next day - key won't turn the ignition. Steering is locked. It's like somebody switched keys (impossible since all three keys in the family won't turn the ignition). Steering wheel is locked, car in park, can't move it.

	Hi, I believe that you will find this a very repeated topic if you were to search this forum. Anyways, that is a common "feature" of the Saturn ignition column. When in park, the column locks itself and requires turning the steering wheel in order to free the lock cylinder. This is some sort of safety feature, I had once been told that this is for anti-theft and also helps if the car is parked on a hill. No worries, wiggle or turn the sterring wheel if this occurs, then the key will turn. marx404

	I am going to go in a little bit of direction and say it is a worn key. My '00 LS1 would wear the key down very quickly so that the key would go in but you would realyy jiggle and play with it before it would ingage. Try a different key and if that is the issue then get a new key made from the master if you have one.

	We tried three different keys -- none of them work, so it's not a worn key. Also tried jiggling the steering wheel -- several attempts -- nothing. Looks like we've got to have it towed. Thanks for all the help--wish we had an easy answer.

If there is any pressure loaded on the wheel, you may have to put a good amount of force into moving the steering wheel while trying to move the key. Ken

Thanks for all the help--wish we> had an easy answer. I had this happen to me a few years back on a Ford. The lock had actually failed and wouldn't turn when I put either of my keys in. (My daily key was somewhat worn, but my spare was still nearly new.) I just called a mobile locksmith and he brought a blank key and a file and filed down the inside of the old lock until it would turn with the blank. Once it turned, he popped it right out and popped in a new lock cylinder. The whole process only took a few minutes and wasn't very expensive and I didn't have to call a tow truck. -DanD -- # Dan Duncan (kd4igw) dand@pcisys.net http://pcisys.net/~dand # Chopped cabbage: it's not just a good idea, it's the slaw!

Thanks for all the help--wish had an easy answer. These locks fail constantly. The most common symptom is the key will get trapped in the ACC position and won't turn either way or come out. This situation requires a replacement cylinder. If it just won't turn, I'd suspect a bent tumbler, which would most likely not require a new cylinder. Solution: You should call out a reputable Automotive locksmith to fix the problem. You save a tow and get back on the road in a flash (if he is any good). And I guarantee you it will cost less than the dealer or an unexperienced mechanic.
