Ignition will not allow key to be removed or turned to start! V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be bill on  Mon Mar 14 14:29 CST 2005 [RELATED]

You need a new steering column/ignition lock, and possibly a gearshift knob. Ignition lock failure is common on 98 and newer models, and also the gearshift knob. The release button cracks at the pivot point and the button binds, which prevents fully engaging park, which prevents the "key lock" cable from fully releasing, which prevents the key from being removed.
