Dominic,

Get a locksmith to remove the key (if its stuck) and in the process he will clean the ignition with wd40 and lock
picks.  Then he should graphite spray the ignition and all should be well.  I had my key get stuck in my GTV6 and
then not turn and this is exactly what the locksmith did for me. Cost me 70Dollars but it worked and I never had
a problem again.  He also suggested not having a security guards worth of keys attached to the key fob of the
ignition too. Puts too much stress on it he said..

Good luck,
Antonio87' Verde
