Canlt Get Key Out!!

[Metallic Red]

Do a quick check of your fuses. Sometimes a blown fuse can have an effect of other accessories. Hope this helps.

I had this happen to mine . . . my plastic shifter kept coming lose and sliding down and scratching the bezel so I took it off moved it up and tightened the screw all the way down but then the key wouldn't come out because there is some sensor that wasn't getting depressed.. Make sure your shifter cover is all the way down on the "black pole like thing" inside your shifter with the screw lining up perfectly, and then tighten the screw all the way in the hole.

you also may want to try and turn the key forward and move the shifter to D then back to P making sure it's all the way in P.. I have had that happen a few times before and it worked...

Everything lines up perfectly..... I feel like a thief!! Everytime I park, I have to pull out a flat head screwdriver and stick it in the plastic and hit the solenoid!! Talk about ghetto.... lol

The shifter button is likely sticking inside the shift shaft and not releasing. With the shifter handle off use a screwdriver and push down on the center and see if it goes down and then back up. If you have spilled coffee or any other kinds of drinks in the cupholders this gets gummed up. try cleaning it out with brake clean and lubricate with lithium grease. If it wont free up you may need a shifter assembly

My 05 did the same thing. I took it to the dealer and they swapped out the ignition mechanism with a new one under warranty. Fixed it.

here's the update on this situation.... Turned out to be a bad lock cylinder. $32.00 dollar part.

If it was the lock cylinder then hitting the release button on the shifter assembly would not have done anything.
