I have an 04 Xfire. It had a sticky switch when i first got it 3 years ago, now its just embarrasing to me. Sometimes the darn thing will get me stuck in front of a store for about 5 minutes of me almost breaking my fingers turning it on off on off on off praying that the key will turn to the run position soon before the Texas heat has me sweating like a donkey and some one see's it..hahahah..sad but true. dont say to get a new key..My God $150 for a key...I will listen to anything...but a key...damn!!
