The key would not turn and had to fiddle with it to work, so I took it to a dealer and had the ignition key cylinder changed along with the key(?). Cost was over $500. 00 with mileage at 60,981. Just past warranty. This is ridiculous and should never happen. I feel I should be compensated for some of this at this mileage.
