    I put my key in the ignition and it will not turn at all. I was thinking maybe the steering wheel was locked so I wiggled it and the key simultaneously. Nothing. Then I turn my wheel more and it locked. I try the same thing again and get the same results. Not sure if it’s the key, the ignition itself, the lock, etc. Also when the key is in and door is open it doesn’t always “chime”. You have to push and hold the key or get it in the “right spot”. If that makes sense. What do y’all think?
