Check the owners manual for the stuck keys in the ignition! There is a small access panel just below the ignition switch on the bottom of the steering column! Remove the panel to access the manual release switch! Push the lever one way or the other to release the keys! Hope this helps!

I have the same car. I haven't done anything to my car. but a few weeks ago I had a problem with my keys not coming out also. I took it to the dealer, he said it was the shifter, it seems that if the shifter gets any moister down inside such as coffee, soda,or even water from cleaning something happens to it and it wont let the keys release. They fixed it under warrentee. Did you try pushing the release button under the steering wheel for now?

Yes the Key problem is kind of a Joke! I mean they know there is a design or engineering problem as noted in your owners manual and this is why they list a temporary solution of the access panel w/ the manual release lever! If that isn't a Crock of S#!+! Do take it to the dealer though ASAP so they can diagnose the problem! Glad to have helped

anyone know what fuse is for the autostart? the radio and amplifier fuses are good, i found the ignition fuse and it was blown, replaced it and the keys come out naturally.
radio still doesnt work and neither does the autostart/fab remote
