I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A NEW KEY WOULD COST MORE THAN $65.00 AND TAKE OVER A WEEK TO HAVE A NEW ONE MADE. THEY TELL ME IT HAS TO BE LASERED. I SUGGEST TO HYUNDAI THAT THEY COME UP WITH A BETTER ANSWER TO REPLACE A LOST KEY. I AM NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC BIT THAT UNLOCKS THE DOORS AND OPENS THEM.. MANY PEOPLE CANNOT COME UP WITH THAT MUCH MONEY AND WAIT THIS LONG TO GET A REPLACEMENT KEY. (SORRY I FORGOT TO MENTION I LOST MINE). I WOULD HOPE THAT HYUNDAI HAS SOME ENGINEERS THAT COULD COME UP WITH A BETTER IGNITION KEY THAT IS NOT SO COSTLY AND HARD TO REPLACE LOCALLY. I KNOW ALL ABOUT CAR THIEVES BUT THE PRESENT SITUATION IS NOT FOR A HAPPY CAR BUYER. I AM GOING TO WARN ALL MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS TO BE CAREFUL IF THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING A HYUNDAI. IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR HYUNDAI TO INCLUDE IN THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE A PROVISION TO PROVIDE BUYERS A FREE KEY AND ELECTRONIC BUTTON .
