The one on my Z/28 worked, but the one on my SS doesn't. I can just pull the key right out. I don't think it effects anything.

I've heard of these going out but don't worry about it OP unless you want to replace your tumbler.. It's doesn't make a difference one way or the other

I though this was a silly thread but I learned something. I assumed that every car had it but I've only had manual cars since 1992. My 5-speed truck even has it.

If you turn your car off going down the road... and wait that long to notice that you can't turn the steering wheel you've got issues
