Answer
Hello Staci,
Your ignition lock failed on you. It won't be another 3000 dollars to fix it. But, I would call around to some local shops to get a decent quote to replace the lock assembly. I estimate in the $75 to $200 range depending on the cost of living rate in your area. Save a little bit by going to the parts store and buy the part yourself.
Hope that helps.
Have a great day!
