yeah im kind of worried about it because i have some people in my school that would probably steal it from me so every time i do lock my driver door i have to unlock the passenger then unlock the driver door from the inside i also was able to turn the car over with a key from a 1995 s10

your ignition is shot. just replacing the ignition cylinder should solve your problem.
same thing with a 1980 CJ7 Jeep i used to have, i never had to worry about keys though, lol.

iceblue - you don't even know what the **** you talking about....there is a difference between the steering column lock and the ignition.
the column lock doesnt have a goddamn thing to do with any key being able to turn the tumblers in an ignition. the problem is a worn ignition!
do a little reading and figure out the difference between an ignition and the steering column lock

See ^ they are one unit. That is how I referred to them. regardless the unit needs to be replaced.
And this is the ignition.

hrmm... i have the exact same problem. when i start the car. i can take out the keys and the car will still be running. also, when i try to lock the driver side door. this is what happens. i open the door, manully push the lock down to lock the door, close the door, and then i can open the door back.
it only happens for the driver side tho. the passenger side is fine. so the only way i can lock the drivers side is open the passenger side, reach over to lock the drivers door, and then lock the passenger side.
when i try to unlock the car. i can only unlock it from the passenger side.... wierd...
