Key stuck in ignition
 
Twice, my key has gotten stuck in my ignition. I sprayed some WD-40 and tried my spare key. I managed to finally get it out, but is anyone having similar issues with their ignition cylinder? It's a 2011 with 60,000 miles...

Have you tried moving the steering wheel back and forth while the key is stuck?

Auto or manual? I know in auto's the key can get stuck if it's not completely in Park

Auto... Steering wheel wasn't locked. It doesn't feel like that. I think it's actually the ignition cylinder messing up. I've never heard of it in a Jeep, though. It's never done this in 3+ years until now.

Did you come to come to any conclusions . Mine actually got stuck twice this weekend . I moved the shifter as well as the transfer case shifter and was able to remove key. Havent had any issues for the last several tries but I thought this was kind of strange. Was also thinking the ignition switch

It actually never happened again after this post. Makes me think I had bumped my shifter, and it thought it wasn't in Park...? Or the almighty WD40 worked a miracle ;-)

Use powdered graphite on locks, not oil based product as it can gum stuff up.
