Emergency Key Problem! Please Help!
The G320 won't allow me to turn the key to the ignition. It acts like its locked with the steering wheel. I have the regular key in the ignition and i can only get it to turn about a few millimeters! The car won't start if I can't turn the key!!!
Anyone ever have this problem? I don't want to "tow" it because I can't turn the damn key. This is extremely frustrating.
Thanks for all your help.
This is a Europa 1996 G320.

With your left hand, slightly jiggle the steering wheel back & forth while at the same time turn on/jiggle the ignition key with your right hand. Sometimes the ignition mechanism gets stuck in conjunction with the steering mechanism, especially if the wheels are turned too far to the right or left. This may be what has happened. Good luck.
