Key won't turn
Two days ago, I put my key in the ignition and it wouldn't turn. I tried two or three times wiggling the steering wheel etc to no avail. I tried removing the key and re-inserting several times and it cranked up. I went to the gym this morning and had the same problem again. I tried all of these same things for 10 minutes and still can't get the key to turn. What could be the problem? HELP!!!
My car is c280.
Thanks

Chances are that your key itself is going bad since it isn't turning when on the ignition (i.e. not communicating with the car).
Try a second key if you have one, otherwise you should get it looked at by a Mercedes tech and most likely order a new key from the dealer.
