I hope the key is not broke inside of the ignition. If it is you will need more than a key replacement. But to have your key replaced all you need to do is find a local hardware store. Even with just the broke key they can do a replacement.
get a new key
The key to my ignition broke off in the ignition. Luckily, I was able to insert the remainder of the key in the ignition and turn on my car. In order to fix the problem, I had to take my car to the dealer and I am pretty sure they removed it and installed a new ignition "key hole" keyed to my car. It is a 1990, and I believe the problem happened approx 1993?
Copied car keys are aren't easy to be copied and you will have a hard time starting a car if you have that copied car key since that key is very thin, it can easily broke and it's bigger than a normal keys at home.
If the car has a computer chip on the key, then the key area around the chip contact is worn and the key needs to be replaced. Hope this helps
the key switch in the steering column has gone bad and has a part inside of it that is probably broke.
If the engine stops running when the key is released, then the ignition switch is probably bad. The switch will need to be replaced.
It costs anywhere from 10-50 dollars to have a key made. When I broke the key to my VW bug it cost me 150 dollars to get a new one, it depends on the type of key.
Your gonna have to call a tow truck or insurance company to get you in the car. You will have to have to replace the whole lock mechanism.
Depending on the year of car you can get a new key for free at a Chrysler dealer with your title and ID. if it has the rf antitheft system built into the key then you will have to pay for the key. it will be much cheaper to by the key from the dealer anyway. This only works if you have never rekeyed your vehicle with a different set of locks. but it will be much cheaper to have the key replaced by the dealer than to have the iginition lock replaced.
no not nessecarily, it could have been a coincedence that it broke when you turned the key.
The key cylinder has failed and will need replaced/repaired.
