There are a number of reasons why your car ignition may not be working correctly. It could also be issues with your key, battery, or starter as well. If your car stalls suddenly or doesn't start at all, your ignition line may have been severed or it could be a manufacturer defect.

Most of the time your warranty will cover ignition switches up to a certain year or mileage. It may also be a transponder key issue or a broken key that is too worn out to turn the ignition correctly. 

Testing your car battery will help you to identify if it needs to be replaced in the near future. To safely test the car battery, you'll need work gloves, safety glasses, a voltmeter, and small wire brush. Turn the vehicle off, open the hood and give the battery terminals a good inspection. If there's any corrosion, use the wire brush to create a good contact point.

Take the red cable from the voltmeter and attach to your battery positive terminal. Take the black cable from the voltmeter and attach to your battery negative terminal.
