Key will not not turn in ignition to start car. Tried spare key and all suggestions from google, turning steering wheel, brakes, disconnecting battery. Locksmith charge to repair $300+, per comments on google better to replace or will happen again. Cost to replace $600+. Tried tapping around key hole with screwdriver & hammer while someone turned key, did not work.

I have had shaking in steering wheel at 60-70 mph and brakes cause the car to shudder. The brakes grabbed when lightly touched them at 70 mph to avoid a truck that pulled into my lane. Afraid that vehicle will lose control due to sudden brake and shudder in steering.
