Chevrolet Monte Carlo key and floor shift stuck, car won't start on Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Some Chevrolet Monte Carlo owners report experiencing issues with a stuck key and floor shift, which can prevent the car from starting. These problems may stem from a key cylinder issue where the cylinder remains in the crank position, hindering the key's removal. Additionally, shifter problems can trap the key in the ignition, necessitating the detachment of the cable after lowering the steering column to free the shifter and key. Some owners have found that wiggling the shifter while in neutral may bypass complications caused by a worn or mis-adjusted neutral safety switch, which can block the car from starting if it thinks the vehicle is in gear. Furthermore, electrical wiring issues, such as severed wires, can affect the key and floor shift's functionality, potentially leading to new complications like the key getting stuck in the ignition without the option to remove it without using the key lock override. Addressing these specific areas may help troubleshoot and resolve the issues.
