When I put my key in..sometimes I have to jiggle it for 5 minutes before it finally cranks up. If i go get a new key made..it'll work fine for a few months, but after a while it does the same thing....as if the ignition is bending the key. What is the name of the part that I stick the key in? Thats what I need..but I keep finding everything else.
