re: #328 Hercules Grytpype-Thynneghazi

Happened to me last month in my Saturn Ion. There’s a little squarish panel with rounded corners on the steering column. You take that off and inside there’s a little button that you press with your thumb. Key slides right out after that.

I think the whole procedure is documented somewhere in the Book of Revelation, but I called the service department of my local dealership. It was quicker than trying to decipher John of Patmos’s metaphorical language.

I’m going to let GM take care of it. 3 days after it happened I got a recall letter for the ignition switch. 2005 Monte Carlo. Can’t make appointment until after Oct. 1st for some reason (I was going around about that with the service manager). I would think they have at least one good cylinder setting around or could be shipped in before then.
