How does this happen? Were you using it is a last ditch effort in a bare-knuckle brawl? I've never had a key just snap in two before.

I'd ask the dealer first. They might still replace it for you.

There was an detailed article on this forum on how to take your key apart and put it back together. Perhaps it can help.

I've never either until now, and I've owned a LOT of cars. Honestly I'm pretty gentle with it, I don't even hold it forward when starting like a normal key because as we all know the starter detent acts really like a push button. 43k miles of use thats not even that much.

It looks like the casting that the roll pin goes through is broken.

when I bought the car the dealership tried to sell me key fob insurance - he stated the replacement was $250 (same price as the insurance).
Big no on that one!!!!! |
