The key won't turn and the brakes when you push them no pressure, I'm broke down at a gas station.

Hi,

When you press the brake pedal, does it go to the floor? Also, was there any indication of a problem starting when it comes to the ignition key? I'm struggling to see how they could be related.

Let me know. Also, I suspect the key is locked in the off position. However, let me know if anything electrical is working. For example, are the headlamps working?

Take a look through this link and let me know if anything helps:

Let me know.
