CarComplaints.com Notes: Carrying the not-so-proud traditions of its 2002 predecessor, the 2003 has a handful of instrument panel malfunctions that can leave you guessing your speed, engine temperature or how much gas is left in the tank.
Key was stuck and would not move dealer said I would have to tow it in and it was probably an ignition switch,well with a little reasearch and help from this site I determined that the problem was probably not the ignition switch.I called a local mobile auto locksmith he cut me a new key to factory specs but it still didnt work so he said the tumbler was probably bad from the key being so badly worn.He installed a new tumbler and keyed to the key he had just made and what do you know it works.The dealership would have charged me $130 just to hook their computer up to it to read a code that would not have been detected anyway and $130 an hour to install an ignition switch that I would not have needed.
