ISSUE: Some dealership-cut ignition keys may open the doors but not engage the ignition, thus preventing the car from starting. This is caused by a shoulder on the blade of the key blank # 011-00155, Figure 1.

ACTION: Remove the excess metal from the key blade, as shown in Figure 1. Use a file or key duplicator. To order key blanks, call the Rotunda Hotline: 1-800-762-6181 (Rotunda Dealership Supplies - Option 2).
