so i went to turn my car on and i dont know if its some kinda safety feature something but it wont let me turn the key!!!!!
my battery is ok, i tried turning the steering wheel, took the ebrake off, put it in and out of gear but i cant get my car to turn on!!
does anybody know a way around this or what it is??
thanks so much!

 

Since these cars are really close to the Ion i'll let you know what my experience was.

As weather got colder when I was living in wisconsin I noticed a few things w/ the ignition. Sometimes I couldn't turn the key and other times I could but even when i got to the 'start' spot the engine wouldn't start up. It wasn't the characteristic "clicking" when the battery goes out or anything, but just nothing.

Turns out there was a TSB on the Ignition module of the Ion's (I have a 2004) where the grease they used to lubricate the ignition area behind the key would get very gummy and not allow the contacts to come together in colder weather. I took it in, showed them the TSB, and it was all fixed under warranty w/ no more issues.

You may want to check on the same sort of issue for your car.

 

I had the same problem with a malabu and it turned out to be a bad ignition.
