Problem overview

Some Pontiac Aztek owners report experiencing issues with keys getting stuck in the ignition, often due to a faulty ignition lock cylinder that may require assessment or replacement by a skilled locksmith or mechanic. Additionally, some models feature a hidden release button that can help free a stuck key, although it may not be immediately obvious. In certain cases, the problem may be linked to a shifter interlock issue, where the key is stuck because the shifter won't move from park; a simple trick of restarting the car after opening and closing the door has resolved this for some owners. Furthermore, there are car hacks available that provide no-cost temporary solutions for this issue. If these solutions do not resolve the problem, consulting a professional locksmith or mechanic is recommended to diagnose and fix the underlying issue.
