    Post Remote Control Key stuck in Ignition Switch

    Hello. I have a 2008 XC70. Yesterday the Remote Control Key would not eject from the ignition switch. Start and stopping the engine is no problem, but the switch simply refuses to release the RC key. It doesn't move an inch. Anyone with the same problem or potential solution?

    The key can be manually pulled out. It is a hard pull because you are working against the motor for the key. Once you get it out check inside the opening for debris in the key hole. There are black tabs that break away and gum up things.

    Solution: Change your steering lock and it will be solved imho. Its a known problem...

    Happened to me few months ago in a parking lot. I had to let the key there and go shopping.... Back home I dismantle the dash and was able to go behind the key motor and eject the kew. Now my key doesn't stay; the motor always eject my key, but I'm able to ride the car because the "computer" still recognise my key.
