It sounds like the key tumbler is bad and needs to be replaced. Here are diagrams to help you see what you need to do. You will need to get the part from the dealer they will program the key before they give to to you so have your VIN number ready.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
