Keys to vehicle are worn down and sometimes won't turn ignition on. (Can tell difference because still have an original key that broke at the top.) Jiggling key helps. Is it key or actual ignition problem? How do I tell if our keys are the transponder type? I have key ID tag w/number on it.

Take to Dealer with ID and VIN they should be able to cut a new key. If it works then cylinder is good
