Key problems

So my key actually comes out of the ignition anytime. If you have the car completely running the key can come right out. You can even drive the car without the key! Has anyone else experienced this problem?

My dad's F-150 did that, was pretty awesome lol. Eventually it got to where it wouldn't start the car and he had to have the ignition replaced.

I had a friend years ago who broke the key off inside the ignition. It was an older car, and it was high school, so he didn't really want to shell out cash to fix it, so whenever he wanted to start the car, he just had to turn it and go.

I had the key break off in an ignition before. And the doors didn't lock. Luckily it was a POS van that nobody wanted. And yeah vince, you are going to have to have your lock cylinder replaced.
