The solution for the issue of unable to pull out the key in Park (P) position on Buick Excelle is: 1. First check whether there is any fault in the gear lock circuit of the car; 2. Turn the key, step on the brake, and shift to P position, then the key can be pulled out. When there is a problem with the gear signal, the computer does not receive the P position signal, so the key cannot be pulled out from the keyhole. Taking the 2021 Buick Excelle Facelift 1.5L Automatic Entry-Level model as an example, the car has a length of 4609mm, width of 1798mm, height of 1464mm, and wheelbase of 2640mm. The manufacturer of this car is SAIC-GM Buick, classified as a compact car, with naturally aspirated intake form, maximum horsepower of 113ps, and maximum torque of 141nm.
I've encountered the issue of not being able to remove the key from the P position in my Excelle several times, mainly due to the gear shift lever not being securely engaged or brake system failure. I tried pressing the brake pedal firmly and shifting gears back and forth, slightly pushing the gear from P position and then returning it to its original position, which sometimes unlocks the keyhole. If that doesn't work, check the car's fuse box to see if the relevant fuse has blown; solenoid valve issues are also common, and if stuck, they may need lubrication or part replacement. Never force the key out, as it can easily damage the ignition module and increase repair costs. During regular maintenance, have the technician test the brake switch and gear shift mechanism to prevent such problems—don't wait until an emergency occurs on the road. Safety first—if the key is stuck and the car is parked in a dangerous location, call a tow truck immediately.
