new feature on my SVX

I noticed today that there is new feature on my car...when I am sitting idling at stop light and my knee accidentally hits the key in the ignition and the key actually comes out, the car is still running...I am thinking this is new feature I didn't know about? You can have an extra key made while car is still running!

The tumbler in the ignition is shot. The next problem you will have is the car won,t start without turning the ignition a number of times.

Earl, I did a search and saw on an old thread that you had this problem at one time. Did it really only cost you $60 to get it fixed, how difficult is it and can anyone do it (you mentioned your locksmith could do it??)

i can vouche for that! my car starts first try MOST of the time, but every once in a while itll just click and do nothing and i have to turn it multiple times for it to start. doesnt bother me much as long as it starts. at least i know why it does it now when i want to get it fixed!
