Key was stuck and would not move dealer said I would have to tow it in and it was probably an ignition switch,well with a little reasearch and help from this site I determined that the problem was probably not the ignition switch.I called a local mobile auto locksmith he cut me a new key to factory specs but it still didnt work so he said the tumbler was probably bad from the key being so badly worn.He installed a new tumbler and keyed to the key he had just made and what do you know it works.The dealership would have charged me $130 just to hook their computer up to it to read a code that would not have been detected anyway and $130 an hour to install an ignition switch that I would not have needed.
