Our Saturn 2002 SL2 starting having problems turning the ignition key in the lock.
Finally, no amount of jiggling, wheel turning, and attempting to shift could get it to turn.
Locksmith made a new "factory" key that works fine on all doors, but still no luck. Then he replaced the lock with a new one from Saturn (2 days to get it shipped in).
It worked to drive home, but the next morning, it was stuck again. The same locksmith could not get it to turn until he took it apart and put it back together. He never found a problem. Curious, he tried the old lock again, and it worked!?!
I've seen complaints of the column lock locking while driving. In any case, there's too much risk of getting stuck somewhere to drive it out of town.
Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks, Bruce
