Just to clairify... I have no mods on the vehicle. The vehicle on has 2900 mi. I had driven the car all day without incident. I had been in and out of the car several times and had no problems. The battery went dead after sitting overnight with the key stuck! I have had no other issues with the electrical system r any system for that matter.

This vehicle is equipped with an

The key lock release is designed

unless the shift lever is in P (Park).

I wonder if the key is locked in cars with manual transmissions?? Probably not, I guess. AFAIK, I can remove the key in any gear.

My HHR had the Park safety switch go bad and it caused the same thing, I couldn't get the Key out. It also has a manual over ride where you take out a plug under the steering column and press a button to release the key. If it happens again have them check that...
