Some Saturn SL2 owners report experiencing difficulties with their ignition key not turning, often attributed to worn keys and ignition switch issues. These problems can stem from a worn key that fails to engage properly with the ignition tumblers, making it challenging to turn the key. Additionally, some owners find that ignition switch problems, including electrical failures, can lead to intermittent or permanent power loss, further complicating the ability to turn the key. To mitigate these issues, some owners suggest trying a spare key or applying lubricant to the ignition switch to reduce friction. If these solutions do not work, professional assistance may be necessary, as ignition switch replacement or repair can be costly. Promptly addressing ignition key issues is essential for maintaining the vehicle's functionality and security.
