That's weird..!, most of guys who had same this key issue, solved by replace the ignition or cut the lock through local dealer...

If you went through dealer to order tumbler you could get one coded to the VIN and use the original keys. But I think the tumbler is about $130 that way.

Battery got replaced cuz it was shot out.... I dont think it can be the starter beacuse if i put starter fluid in the imtake the car will start up.... But as soon as it burns that up car will shut off...
