Just had this taken care of. My ignition locked up on me last weekend but I was (thankfully) able to get the car started after about 20 minutes and some manhandling.. got it home and decided to bring it to a mechanic since I didn't want to try and deal with the dremeling.. it started again fine to get it to the mechanic but apparently locked up on them at one point but they got it all taken care of after some arguing about me not needing any new parts.. they said it took about 2 1/2 hours with the locking issues but charged me 1 1/2.. I'm just glad its done but wish I had just taken care of it myself months ago before it became an actual issue
