Mine locked up about a month ago. I applied aslightly more barbaric remedy. I was able to finally turn the key after an hour or so of fiddling, pounding and dismantling the covers on the steering column. So I removed the ignition lock and ripped out the tumblers then reinstalled the lock. Any key will turn the lock, but if anyone wants to steal it good luck to them. This was just the beginning of a string of problems that started just after the end of my extended warranty. I am still trying to sort them out!
