So, I have the vehicle listed above that lately the key has been getting stuck in the ignition but nothing serious I could wiggle it and turn it on and turn it off but today I went to go turn on my car and it got stuck in the ACC position and it will not allow me to turn on my car or turn off the ignition. My steering wheel is not locked, and nothing is wrong with the gear cable or switch. Would I have to replace the whole ignition system or can I just replace the ignition cylinder to take care of this issue? Please get back with me soon. Thank you.

You can just replace the ignition cylinder. Here is how the job is done. If you get the part from the dealer they can code the cylinder so you which helps keep the same key. This is a common problem. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
