yes, they told me specifically to buy a new key. and when I went back tonight, I ordered another one and to find that the old one works.
I remember when I took it in to replace the switch, chrysler mechanic and manager actually admitted to me that they didn't know how to work on crossfires and they had to keep calling mercedes for instructions.
What do you propose I say to chrysler tomorrow?
I called them tonight and told them to put a stop on the new key order, and they guy said that he's going to print out my previous order and show me why my old key wouldn't work...I feel like I'm being scammed and I can't speak!
I paid around $800 to have my ignition replaced. It is not cheap. Mine had to be replaced because the car was not turning on. As if everything on the inside had worn out. If that isn't your problem your fix my not be as expensive.
I had the entire assembly replaced and my original key still worked. You said that they admitted they didn't know how to work on these cars. That right there should tell you they probably do not know what they are saying when they tell you you need a new key.
