Consumer Description

PROBLEMS WITH INSERTING AND/OR REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION KEY SLOT. I WAS UNABLE TO REINSERT THE KEY TO START THE IGNITION UNTIL I USED POWDER GRAPHITE AND TAPPED THE KEY IN PLACE. ONCE THE KEY WAS IN, IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. I'VE ENDED UP LEAVING THE KEY IN THE KEY SLOT AND USING A SECOND KEY FOB TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS.
