Key ignition issue
So I get home from shopping go to turn off the car and get the dreaded key stuck in the ignition and won't shut off situation. I pop the clutch and kill the engine and started trying to get the key out. After about a half hour of twisting and jerking I hear a snap and the key comes out. I sprayed a bit of WD40 in the switch and tried the key. The key now goes in and out just fine but it won't rotate the cylinder. I have a tow truck coming in the morning to take it to the dealer.

2007 HHR Having the ignition switch replaced today. Every 4 - 6 weeks the key won't turn. Steering wheel turning doesn't help. No recall available for this model. After awhile of trying the key turns. This is the 3rd event so hoping this fixes the problem. I'll add the total cost is $270. !
