Key won't come out
I have a 06 Charger that is having trouble with the ignition. I can't get the key out. I have tried everything. I checked to make sure the shifter worked, wiggled the steering. Shook the car etc... Is the anti-theft messing up? is there a way to disable this on the charger? I tried unplugging the battery over night. Please help!!

Welcome to the forum 06DodgeFan.
I've never heard of this but found something on another forum...
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1.Remove floor console as necessary for access to the park lock cable.
2.Shift the transmission into the PARK position.
3.Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Be sure ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position. Cable will not adjust correctly in any other position.
NOTE: If the key will not turn to the LOCK position, pull up on the cable lock button and manually move the cable in and out until the key can be turned to the LOCK position.
4.Pull cable lock button up to release cable, if necessary.
5.Remove and discard the cable adjuster lock pin, if a new cable is being installed.
6.Ensure that the cable is free to self-adjust by pushing cable rearward and releasing.
7.Push lock button down until it snaps in place. The lock should be 1-2mm below the surface of the cylinderical portion of the cable adjustment housing.

I believe that would be the center console. Take out about 8 screws (4 in the bottom of the cubby/ and a couple up by the ash tray) also remove the bezel around the shifter and it comes out.

How many miles do you have on the car? If you are still under warranty, have the dealer replace the shifter assy. All of the LX body have this problem, and so does the jeep liberty.
