Don’t leave us hanging!! What happened?! Did you have to hotfoot it for 17 miles???
No, but something similar with that happened the summer of 2007, when I had to walk 13 miles after having a problem with the vehicle.
In this instance, I just walked around town making inquiries about a locksmith.
A guy from a gasoline station looked it over, and discovered the vehicle could be turned on and off as normal, excepting the blade of the key remains in the ignition until I get it removed, and new keys made.
