Default Re: Ignition Key Sticking Disable the cylinder lock ?

Only $1066 parts and labor ! WOW !

I got my car back, as it does start now that the dealer unlocked it somehow.
$127 for the diagnostic.

The cheapest I've seen for the part online is $379.62. The dealer wants $575 for the part alone.

Found this video where the guy is removing the cylinder lock.
Chrysler Crossfire sticky key how to remove the pin - YouTube

Is this a good idea ?
Anyone heard of this before?
How much easier would it be to steal the car with the cylinder lock removed ?
Do as they say and reassemble the part back into your car and you will have solved the problem and there will be no repeat of it. New parts do not have these parts in them, it will not make the car easier to steal.
