Why Can't the Key Be Pulled Out After the Regal Stalls?
1 Answers
It is common for the car key to be stuck after the Regal stalls in automatic transmission models, mainly because the gear is not fully returned to the P (Park) position. In this case, check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot, remove them, start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully engaged, and then the key can be pulled out. Here are some related details: 1. Electronic Sensor: The key getting stuck after stalling is common in automatic transmission models because the gear is not fully returned to the P position, not triggering the electronic sensor, or there might be coins or other objects blocking the gear slot. 2. Lock Function: If the key cannot be turned after insertion, it is due to the car's steering wheel auto-lock feature. If the steering wheel was turned left or right after parking and stalling, or the wheels were not aligned when parked, the steering wheel may have been subjected to force, activating the auto-lock. To unlock, gently shake the steering wheel with your left hand while turning the key with your right hand.
