the ignition key will not releas the key. i can start and stop the car. it will not release the key.

If you are fully in gear and it will not release then it could be an ignition lock issue. This will require a hands on inspection. Do not try to force the key. This will cost you a lot more money than bringing it to a shop for an inspection. Use this link to find a good shop near you. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex
