Was there a recall on the ignition of a 1999 Chrysler Sebring JXI convertible?
Don't know...but there are problems with the ignition lock tumblers wearing. Quick fix for a stuck key is to tap the lock while trying to turn the key. This will allow tumblers to fall into place so the key will turn. This fix will get you home, but not fix the problem. To fix permanently, disconnect power to car, remove dash trim below the steering wheel and remove enough screws to lift upper dash around steering wheel to expose key lock. Turn key to on position and depress tab in lock cylinder collar and pull lock cylinder and key out of car. Take lock cylinder to locksmith for new tumblers ( it cost me $12). Replace lock cylinder and put dash back together.

My rod was bent preventing the ignition from turning. Nothing wrong with my tumblers.

Assuming you have the right key, try wiggling it around a bit int he ignition. Also, try turning the steering wheel side to side as you try to turn the key.
