Pontiac Torrent ignition key sticking issue despite ignition switch replacement on Pontiac Torrent

Some Pontiac Torrent owners report experiencing issues with the ignition key sticking, even after replacing the ignition switch. These problems may arise due to the transmission lock, which must be properly engaged in Park for the key to turn. Additionally, owners have noted that a dead battery can lead to the ignition switch locking the key inside, preventing its removal. The ignition lock cylinder solenoid, part of the EPL system, can also cause the key to remain stuck if the transmission is not in the correct position. To resolve these issues, it is recommended that owners inspect the transmission lock, battery condition, and ignition lock cylinder solenoid to identify and address the underlying causes.
