You are awesome. The battery on Cobalt took a dump; I called AAA to jump it, and it was barely holding the charge. I moved the car to a different spot, shut it off, and then made the stupid mistake of trying to start at to see if the battery held. Of course, it didn’t - but then the key got stuck. Your video had that key out in under 10 seconds. Thank you again!

Finally 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I had to leave my key in the ignition for a few days because I couldn’t figure out how to get it out 😂😂 luckily I have a driveway. I was just testing to see if my car would start because I hadn’t drove it in months and it’s completely dead 😂

Thank you so much for this video. After being parked for a month my key got stuck in the ignition with a dead battery. To make matters worse the car was in my single car garage and my battery charger wouldn't charge the battery with the key stuck in the ACC position. Once I got the key out I was able to charge the battery and get it back on the road.

This video shows up if you look up the same issue on a Chevy Malibu. For those who are curious on a 2013 Malibu,there’s a little hole underneath the steering wheel near the ignition. Where you can put a screen driver and push towards the ignition for the manual release. I spent a long time looking for it in the wrong place. Hoping to save someone some time.

THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM: A DEAD BATTERY (IF IT WASN'T DEAD BEFORE IT POSSIBLY WILL BE IF IT SITS FOR ANY LENGTHY TIME WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON). MOST LIKELY: CHECK INSIDE THE SHIFT CONSOLE. THERE IS A SWITCH THAT COMPLETES A CIRCUIT WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN PARK; IT CAN BE THE SWITCH OR THE WIRE OR THE CONNECTOR ON EITHER END OF THE CIRCUIT. A WORN IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER OR KEY IS LESS LIKELY THE MAIN PROBLEM IF DEPRESSING THAT LITTLE SILVER or WHITE BUTTON ON THAT SOLENOID BEHIND THAT RUBBER COVER EASILY RELEASES THE KEY.

I was inside my vehicle with windows rolled up in 100 degree weather at a red light. The car stopped, battery died without warning and just got the battery two weeks ago, and then the key was stuck in the ignition. I was concerned with how to get out the car. Everyone passing didn’t realize I was stuck inside. Is there a way to unlock the doors if the lock only unlocks when the battery is charged and you pull the door handle? I was panicking on the phone with 911, the fireman couldn’t get the street right. I got out by god because I looked over grabbing the door handle the millionth time that was locked and then all of a sudden it was unlock, I don’t know how honestly.

What happens when the button is already down? Took the ignition out, nothing wrong with key or cylinder, but the switch behind it can’t turn all the way off, shifter in park and seemingly recognizing it since the white button is down on its own, and vehicle has plenty of battery power, so no reason to believe it’s stuck due to low voltage. I legitimately can’t get it to go off and there is no visible reason why this is
