Problem overview

Some Toyota Corolla iM owners report experiencing issues with their ignition key not turning, which can stem from various causes. These owners often find that a locked steering wheel can prevent the key from turning in the ignition. Additionally, ensuring the vehicle is in park mode and turned off is crucial, as failure to do so may hinder the key's movement. If the key remains stuck, some owners suspect there could be a problem with the ignition system itself and recommend disconnecting power to the starter solenoid for inspection. In cases where these steps do not resolve the issue, it is advisable for owners to seek assistance from their local Toyota dealer to address potential problems with the ignition switch. Furthermore, issues such as a damaged key, ignition cylinder, flat battery, or incorrect gear selection can also contribute to the key getting stuck in the ignition.
