Hello,

It sounds like the ignition tumbler has worn out. Here are instructions and diagrams below to show you how to replace the unit. Be sure to get the new unit from the dealer and bring your VIN so they can code it for you before the installation. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
