I have had problems getting the key out of the ignition, on several occasions. Last night I pulled the key out, forcefully. And this morning the key goes in easy turns but it's a free turning feeling, and comes out easy. Does not turn on the gauges or start the car. I desperately need this car going ASAP. It's my only transportation.

Sound like the ignition cylinder has broken. You will need to replace it. I attached the process. Let me know if you have questions and how you make out. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Thanks
