Some Chevrolet Impala owners report experiencing issues with their ignition key getting stuck and not turning, often due to a faulty key that may not function properly. Additionally, problems with the ignition cylinder itself can arise, where worn or damaged internal components prevent the key from turning smoothly. Battery concerns are also noted, as a dead battery may require charging or a jump-start to release the ignition lock mechanism. To mitigate these issues, some owners find that developing good driving habits, such as avoiding leaving the car running unattended, and performing routine maintenance can help prevent ignition-related problems. It is advised not to force the key out if it gets stuck, as this could lead to more significant complications.
