My key won’t turn in the ignition, and or, my car key is stuck in the ignition.
Many times, we have found that customers try to turn the key in the ignition and after jiggling the key a few times, the key will turn and come out. The customer continues to use the key for a little while longer thinking that using the key this way is fine.
Our first advice is to stop using this key. One reason to stop using this key is because it can cause more damage to the ignition causing the repair cost to become much higher.
The reason why your Mitsubishi Eclipse key won’t turn in the ignition or why it is getting stuck may be because of a few reasons. The first reason is because your key has gotten old and has worn out. If you are thinking about going to a hardware or locksmith store and copying your existing key, you will just be wasting your time and money. You will only be copying the same worn out key you already have and will not be fixing the problem.
Our recommendation for fixing a worn-out key is to have a new key cut by using your car’s VIN number. You can have this done at a Mitsubishi dealership or by using a locksmith company. This is the first solution we would recommend trying to see if it will fix the problem.
If having a new key made by using the VIN number does not work, we recommend that you fix the ignition cylinder. A locksmith can easily fix your ignition cylinder by re-keying it.
My Mitsubishi Eclipse key is broken
If your Mitsubishi Eclipse key is broken and one of the pieces is stuck inside the ignition, a locksmith will be able to use a special tool made just for getting the piece out. After the locksmith gets the piece out of the ignition, or if you already have the two pieces, they will be able to just look at the two pieces of the key and be able to cut you a new key.
