Ignition Locked

So yesterday after getting off work i drove home and after changing i went to jump in my car to take off and the ignition wont turn over.. i get 0-ACC-I (not II) so i cant turn the car over, jump starting the car works, but is a PITA to do alone lol I disconnected the battery last night and it turned over, but was to late to go out. I wake up in the morning and go to work as normal hoping that it wouldnt happen again, and it does after work. I tried disconnecting the battery for another 30 min and wont work, tried leaving the key in the ignition to "learn the key" and nothing.. few hours pass and just a couple min ago i went out to try it and it worked, then i turned it off to see if i could turn it off again and not again.

I checked all the fuses in the car and in the engine bay, all good. Got no CEL codes, no theft lockout light.

I dont know what the problem is, but im getting really pissed off at this car. I dont get off work early enough to bring it in, so i have to wait till this weekend to get it looked at unless someone can tell me whats wrong/how to fix the problem.

Exclamation There is a recall on the ignition cylinders - not sure about '10's.

However, it would make sense as I do not think they would have changed anything like that on the last model year .

Could be your clutch switch take a look at the switch that the pedal arm contacts.
You can also try turning the key slow until it tries to start and hold it there until it starts.
If its a auto park switch could be defective try it in neutral,or cycle the gear shift back and fourth and hit park alittle more forcefully.

But the ignition switch was a huge problem on older models.
