Hi! I have a 2001 IS300, no modifications. So I turned off my car yesterday, and somehow, when I pulled the key out, it came out at the ACC position. I didn't pull extra hard or anything, just turned the key to the left as usual, and pulled it out. Now I can stick the key back in, but I can't turn it at all, to the left or right - the ignition is completely stuck in the ACC position. I called Lexus roadside, they'd never even heard of such a thing happening because the key isn't supposed to come out at ACC. AAA came, they had no idea what to do.
Has anyone ever heard of this? Is this a simple problem or a serious one?? I'm afraid I'm going to have to get the whole ignition replaced!! Help! :cries:
