Why is the ignition key stuck in my Grand Cherokee?
Brilliant post, Milo, very useful. I have a 2003 Grand Cherokee Overland 2.7 CRD, which I love, and earlier today the ignition key would not come out of the ignition. My first thought was the ignition lock itself, so I spent some time jiggling the key in the lock without success.

This was due to the binding of parts within the shift mechanism.

How do you turn off door chime with key out of ignition?
When I pull up somewhere, I have to stop, turn the key off, open the door so all the locks unlock, shut the door, hit the door lock button on the door (relocking all the doors), then when I reopen the door all the other door locks stay locked. At that point I can manually lock the drivers door and get out.
