So my car ignition is in the ACC position and I cannot get it to turn back to the off position. The key came out like it normally does but now it will not turn off. How do I fix this?

It sounds like you have an ignition switch lock assembly that is worn out. Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when changing the key lock out. You may need to have the key coded to the car before you install it the dealer can do this for you.

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
