Default Ignition locked "Solution"

Did some more research on line and found out Chrysler ignitions of all kinds have this problem because the factory grease put into the ignition tumblers hardens when it gets old and won't let the tumblers fall back in place....(Also it was very cold last night)simple solution is to place key in ignition and tap on the key with a rubber mallet a few good times....PROBLEM SOLVED !!!! At least for now, I'm up and running !!!!!
