Default Re: VIN# won't get key that starts car

Yep. Same problem here. I had the "sticky ignition" problem you can see people talk about at this forum. So, the dealer wanted $600 to change the ignition. I thought I'd rather pay $150 and let my mechanic do it. So he did and we put the blade into my fob. Fine. Then later I thought I better get a duplicate key in case I lost my fob. Nope! Now I am S.O.L. Chrysler will only sell me the blade keyed to the VIN (which is NOT the ignition blade since I have a new ignition). I have tried EVERYWHERE to buy a blank blade and have someone cut it. I found one place that MIGHT have the blade, but then could never find a locksmith who would be able to cut it. I'm just **** outta luck if I loose my fob, as I would have to have a new ignition installed to be in the same boat that I'm in right now, unless I want to break down and pay Chrysler the $600 + for an ignition and blade/fob that matches my VIN.
