    You literally saved the day! It's the dead of winter - the temp is below zero, wind chill is -30, husband is sick in bed with the flu and my key got stuck in the ignition. Watched your video - went out and tried it and my key came right out. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Surprisingly this worked. Daughter called me about her 2012 ford escape and the key would not budge. Did exactly what dude did and it worked. Car was off. Moved to Reverse, then down to lowest gear. Then real quick back to park. Key came right out. Thanks for posting this brother.

    Thank you so much! I was getting so frustrated and worried that this was going to cost me an arm and a leg. This worked perfectly after I calmed myself down. 😂🎉

    OMG dude! That worked!
    😅 This video saved my A_ _ . I was freaking out. I was running late already when I got the key stuck. I was afraid my boyfriend was going to break the key. Wait I said let's check you tube. He didn't think anything on there could help. I looked it up anyway, he tried it, and with a shocked but smiling face dangled the key in the air. Thanks so much.
