if it aint under warrenty you might want to try taking it out yourself and checking the cylinder one of the springs for the cuts maybe jammed or it could need rebuilding a new cylinder coded from dealer is about 80 to 100 bones</P>

If yur wheels arent in a bind then..Now this might sound weird but its something that happen to my co-worker. The battery was bad and somehow it lock the ignition. She said the mechanic said it was something that the camary have..Beats me for what reason.
