Default 2005 ignition key issue

Hello All,

Just bought the Crossfire 12/2015 and am having what appears to be a common problem. Turning the ignition key and I have to play with it and the steering wheel at the same time. I'm hoping to get a lot of feedback here as I've seen fixes that are fuse related to taking out the pin in the housing. A local mechanic just replaced the fuel pump relay, says he can't fix the key issue but says to take it to a MB dealer. Called the MB dealer and they won't work on it, says to call Chrysler. They quoted the tumbler at $287, housing at $545 and of course a new key at $207.85. When I turn the key it gets "stopped" so I'm guessing it's that pin. If I was at home I'd do this myself, but I'm in Clearwater Fl for a bit and can't do it. So I'm looking for any suggestions, help. Thanks!
