We had this on several of our work trucks and the locksmith we used says its in part due to the end of the key getting worn. So we keep a master key to cut new ones from. Great video!

My locksmith made a minor adjustment using a manual key cutting machine to compensate for the key wear. He cut a blank first to make sure that it turned in the cylinder and then cut the chip key from the blank. I didn't need to replace the cylinder tumblers.

at 4:28 your key was in the off position and then the video fades to black, then when then video fades back in at 4:29, your key is in the on position so the pin is easy to push down and the ignition can slide out... I thought this video was showing what to do if the key key won't turn... how did you get the key to turn? it looks like you just edited your other video in..
