I have a 1997 Grand Am SE 2.4 and when I try to turn off my ignition it will not go to the off position but I can take the key out. I have been told the issue is everything imaginable. Everything from I new a new ignition switch, there could be an issue with some type of cable between my shifter and ignition as well as possibly an issue with my transmission linkage. Considering that I know nothing about these type of issues I'm at the mercy of these mechanics.... Is there anyone out there that has experienced this problem? Thanks!!!

It sounds like you have a bad lock cylinder. The fact that you can pull the key out when it is not in the off position is a pretty good clue. Dont you have a shop that you normally deal with and trust?
