Is your Nissan car key stuck in the ignition lock? This is a common problem

Is your Nissan Car key stuck in the ignition?

There is a problem that Nissan owners are talking about and it’s unusual. Although the key turns fine in the ignition, when it comes to removing it, the owners are finding the Nissan car key stuck.

When we first had the call about this, we were intrigued. When a car ignition is turned off, the keys should slide out easily, there isn’t anything holding them in.

However owners were finding their Nissan car key stuck on models including the Qashqai, Micra and Note. Eventually, after sticking for a few weeks, they were getting trapped. So what could be causing it?

A week later, and another caller with the same symptoms. The car starts fine, the key is smooth turning, but once it’s turned off, the ignition simply won’t let the key out!

Nissan Car Key Stuck – The Break Through

Finally we managed to get our hands on one and sure enough, the only way to remove the Nissan car key stuck in the ignition was to take the ignition off the car, and strip it down to release the key.

Over the last few months we’ve had similar calls on Nissan Qashqai, Nissan Note and Nissan Micra models. Each time the only option has been a brand new ignition.

The clue to the problem is shown here on the key, deep scratches both across and along the blade.
