I, too, have had a key break off in the ignition. Not once, but twice. Both keys were "aftermarket". In each case they broke at the narrowest spot; ie, where there is a significant cut on both sides of the key. So I not only now have a sturdier blank, but also had the lock tumblers reset so as to avoid such an obvious weak spot. Dick Ryan VIN 16867 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
