This has been plaguing me for the last 6 years now I'm working on my engine mounts because my engine is lopsided and I didn't know there were four mounts and I came across this video and you just made my freaking day
I’ve been trying for hours and different ways to get the key out. Hot and frustrated, I almost lost it. Luckily I found this video. Thank you sooooooo much. I appreciate it.
My God in heaven will bless you and your entire generation. I just tried this method on my 2008 Pontiac G5 and it worked. I have removed the stuck key. I was about giving up.God bless you. Thank you
I created a channel just so I could comment and thank you for this video. My battery died as I tried to turn my car on, resulting in my key getting stuck. My battery is in the trunk, but when help arrived the trunk button wouldn't work and my only key was trapped in the ignition! Can't put my back seats down without trunk access so if not for this video I would have needed to get my car towed all for a dead battery!!! Whoever designed my car is the worst! Seriously, thank you so much!!
Just had to add that this just saved my father too! Next time either of us get a new car it sure as hell is not having the battery in the trunk, literally impossible to jump your car unless you know to do this!
Ya know I used to things bot being easy and working right the 1st time. Yet this was about as easy as it gets. Lol the las time I tried to start my car the battery died on me and the key got stuck. Fast forward a few months to now and ta duh,it came right out. Lol had I known just how easy it was. We are truely blessed to have technologies lile youtube. Thank you soooo much Dr.Shock!! Much appreciated sir!!
You are a lifesaver. My battery died with key ignition couldn’t pop the trunk. Couldn’t get the key out the latch to open up. The seats is in the trunk, which is so stupid only video that actually gave a great solution.
I wish I could hug you! Your video showed what I was suppose to be looking for so I found it. Somehow my wires in the steering column were all moved around and there wasn't something holding that switch in place. It was moved up behind some other wires but I got to it!
Thank you sir! I’m out here trying to install this double din apple radio thing and have everything tore apart lol. Tried to take the key out and whoops it’s not coming. I’m getting worried and googled how to do it when your video shows up. It works like a charm bud!!!
this just saved me! now to unlock the trunk and try to actually charge the physical battery because that positive/negative thing under the hood has -never- worked when i needed a jump. always had to go to the battery
Oh my God thank you so much. Last time I jumped the car from under the hood and it fucked up the computer and It wouldn’t let me shift past 1st gear. All I had to do was unhook the battery for 15 minutes though. So if it happens to anyone of you there you go.
Man I so appreciate this video! For some reason my battery every so often and if the my booster is dead I’ve been forced to leave key in ignition covered by a towel or something. Not any more! Thank you! subscribed 🙌🏼👍🏼
Your the man bud!! I just bought a 2006 pontiac pursuit with no key fob and only one key which got stuck in ignition after the battery died! Really appriciate the video brother!!!!
The perfect example of think smarter not harder… I spent several hours over several days looking up how to get key out of acc position, didn’t even think to search my cobalt specific and find this gem
I saw in another video a guy literally dismount al the cover down direction column, with your video a did it in 30 sec at night, with a flashlight of course...so cool thanks man
Oh my goodness thank you so much for this video, I was about to start crying in my boyfriends car but this video saved me, thank you thank you thank you !
OMG I had to like, comment and subscribe. You saved me and was the ONLY one that showed me exactly what I needed and you didn’t drag your video. And I’m watching this in 2022 for a 2007 Chevy HHR. Thanks buddy❤️❤️❤️‼️
Thank you so much, this started on new years eve. You saved my night. Unfortunately it keeps doing it, but now I can get the key out until I see my mechanic. Happy New Yeats, everyone be safe.
Your video saved me a lot of time and most importantly I did not wreck my 2014 Chevy Malibu steering column. Mine has a little hole which I used a 4” small flat screwdriver to “un hitch” it. Just went in blindly with the screwdriver, took about 3 seconds! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!!! Stuck in the parking lot in the rain at 1am with a dead battery and the key was stuck and of course, battery is in the trunk (and cant put the back seats down without being in the trunk). This helped us soooooo much!!!
Thanks for the awesome tip! Had the key out in a couple of minutes, then just needed a jump. AAA wanted to just tow the car, on a Saturday. Saved me a huge hassle!
My daughter bought the same car and the key got the next day! I was at work when it happened. I just did your trick and it works! I have the key now! She doesn't know it as yet, she is upsets about it! She doesn't want to talk to me, I went out side all by myself and did it! I will and c what will happen in the morning 😂
Many.. many thanks. Your video image of 'the little white button' saved the day. Had to be a bit of a contortionist to see it but once I did.. voila.. opened just as you said it would. Again, many thanks. James Stubbs up here an hour north of Toronto Canada. (Barrie area)
OMG! I hope this works tomorrow! My car was sitting up for awhile and my dad moved it. The battery was very low and we were wondering why the key didn't come out. I hope this video is the key😉
Thank you so much for this!!! other videos on this content makes it complicated but you were straight to the point with the quickness & you can actually see what you're doing.❤❤❤
Thank u so much my battery kept dying so i would have to go thru baxkseat to open trunk cause key was stuck and trunk button doesnt work if battery is deadand in the trunk, had to break my back seat open with a baseball bat wedged behind it wish i wasnt broke i wud send u some money. Thank god for people like u.
Omg I was a former maintenance tech. This battery must be 15 years old, have to trickle charge it all the time. When rule of thumb is the battery only lasts 4 years. Good ol' Delco. Thanks I didn't know how to go about releasing the key.
I have this exact issue with a chevrolet cobalt. We had a really cold night and my battery died. The worst part is the battery is in the trunk, and the trunk only opens with two ways: a button that needs power (idk why its not a mechanical lever like the hood!!!), or, THE KEYS!! It's such a frustrating design. Thank you for this.
GM had several different designs across vehicles for releasing the ignition key. Here are some other types I've recorded. If you don't have the small door to access the release button on the lower steering column cover, and have a Chevy Impala, Chevy Monte Carlo, Buick Lacrosse or Buick Allure. Then try this video instead - ua-cam.com/video/0KxLu4RGmwc/v-deo.html If instead you have a small slit or access tube below the steering wheel like a Chevy Cruze or Chevy Sonic then try this video instead - ua-cam.com/video/lDHaqjtSPlE/v-deo.html
This has been plaguing me for the last 6 years now I'm working on my engine mounts because my engine is lopsided and I didn't know there were four mounts and I came across this video and you just made my freaking day
I was furious beating on the steering wheel then this dudes calming voice and good directions saved me, thank you so much
I’ve been trying for hours and different ways to get the key out. Hot and frustrated, I almost lost it. Luckily I found this video. Thank you sooooooo much. I appreciate it.
U sound like me 😫😫😫
My God in heaven will bless you and your entire generation. I just tried this method on my 2008 Pontiac G5 and it worked. I have removed the stuck key.
I was about giving up.God bless you. Thank you
Once again, UA-cam comes through when you need it most. Salute to your sir!

Ive watched this like 10 times now just reliving the satisfaction when the key comes out. Uhhhhhf. That release is like no other
For sure, my neighbors probably think I am crazy because I almost yelled 'Ah Ha!' when I pulled it out.
this just saved me! now to unlock the trunk and try to actually charge the physical battery because that positive/negative thing under the hood has -never- worked when i needed a jump. always had to go to the battery

Very well instructed and saved me from from lots of headaches and frustration!
2007 Chevy Cobolt. You are a lifesaver! The battery is in the trunk and it wouldn’t let me open the trunk until the key was out.

You're doing the Lord's Work. Thank you so much.
Thanks, I came out to a dead battery this morning and you saved me so much time, thanks!
BTW for any saturn owners who have this same problem, the solution is also the same as in this video. This seems to be common across all G.M. cars 😅
You made me look like a hero to my kid. Mom rocks today!!!
This video just saved me rn from spending almost 100$ and I got my key out! Thank you!
OMG! I hope this works tomorrow! My car was sitting up for awhile and my dad moved it. The battery was very low and we were wondering why the key didn't come out. I hope this video is the key😉

Greatly appreciated it's 4:00 in the morning my time and my key was stuck I got it out of my ignition due to your video thank you
